Journalist | Columbia Law J.D. | Morehead-Cain Scholar

Storytelling has been a throughline of my personal and academic pursuits. With over 5 years of professional writing experience, my unique background in journalism and law equips me with the skills to help you craft a compelling narrative that stands out. After three years as a journalist at HuffPost, I'm now a J.D. Candidate at Columbia Law School — and hope to serve as a resource for those looking to strengthen their writing skills. I attended undergrad at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill as a Morehead-Cain Scholar, a recipient of the nation's first full-ride merit scholarship at the first public university in the U.S. Navigating several rigorous application and interview processes, I also gained admission into Columbia University, Cornell University, Dartmouth College, Duke University, the University of Michigan and other institutions. At Carolina, I earned my degree in Media & Journalism and a minor in Hispanic Studies, honing my communication skills and freelancing professionally as a college junior. In addition to interning at various outlets such as Radiolab, the TODAY Show, and the Los Angeles Times, I have written for Teen Vogue, Allure, NBC, ESSENCE, and many other publications. Now, I aim to leverage my experiences to explore law at the intersection of media and entertainment. Whether editing personal statements, refining resumes, or offering interview preparation, I want to impart my skills to students and prospective applicants trying to convey what *their* stories are.
