Hello! 

I'm a New Orleans-based freelance journalist writing about everything from refugees to girls' basketball. I spent most of 2016 traveling through the Middle East, Europe and north Africa writing mostly about sports and a little bit of everything else. Before I lived out of a bright blue backpack, I studied journalism at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, moved home to work with high school sports at the Washington Post and then spent 16 months in central Pennsylvania with the Harrisburg Patriot-News.
