My Work
I'm a journalist living in New York City, covering all things local.
I've always loved interacting with new people, learning new skills and having fun. Being a local reporter gives me that opportunity while also letting me highlight the daily lives of New Yorkers.
Whether it's covering the Mayor, a history making Congresswoman or a new community organization, I am there on the scene, ready to give you the local angle.
Every neighborhood is different and the five boroughs of New York City each have something special about them. Whether you live in Brooklyn, work in Manhattan, eat in Queens, visit the Bronx and accidentally get lost in Staten Island. Every borough makes up an important part of the City.
Each part of the city has unique people and each of those people have a special story to tell. Follow me as I show you their lives!
