I cover the Iowa Football beat, bringing experience from reporting at major East Coast outlets including The Buffalo News, The News & Observer, The Richmond Times-Dispatch, and The Associated Press. I earned a master’s degree in broadcast and digital journalism from Syracuse University in 2025, where I was part of the sports media communications cohort, and a bachelor’s degree in media arts and design with a minor in sports communication from James Madison University in 2023.
Originally from Ashburn, Virginia, I’m the oldest of three siblings. Outside of journalism, I’m deeply passionate about advancing research and funding for pancreatic cancer. Sign up for the weekly Hawk Off the Press Newsletter.
