Backround

  I graduated from Penn State University in May 2025 with a major in Broadcast Journalism and two minors in Digital Media Trends & Analytics and Entrepreneurship. 

During my time at Penn State, I completed over six internships across the news industry, gaining hands-on experience in production, print, and broadcast journalism. These opportunities allowed me to work in a wide range of newsroom environments and understand how stories are built from every angle. 

I grew up in Doylestown, Pennsylvania, with a large family. I love the beach, sushi, and a good book. I am also a runner and an artist, with watercolor as my favorite medium. 

Beyond daily news, I have always been deeply interested in globalization and how the world connects and intersects. I had the opportunity to study abroad for a month, and during that time, I made a conscious effort to speak with people around me and understand what it was like to live and work somewhere different from the United States. That experience reinforced my belief that, unless we are exposed to new perspectives, we often remain limited to what we know. I love learning about new cultures and exploring the world through both travel and storytelling. 

I am currently a News Associate at NBC News, where I rotate across multiple teams, supporting daily coverage, breaking news, and long-form reporting for broadcast. In this role, I collaborate closely with senior producers and newsroom leadership.
