I love all things podcast and making infographics that help to uncover, understand, and explain critical stories. I am currently working on developing my investigative chops, pulling FOIAs and using data to comb through records of various government agencies. If you see me around you might find me with my head down and an Apple Pencil in my hand as I draw on my iPad, but don’t be shy, say “Hello.” I love sharing my sketch-notes, and I am currently working on a comic guide of my journey through journalism.

  • Mission Local, 27 October 2017.
    After talking with numerous police officers about the adoption of the Taser I finally met one who said he didn't want one because of the additional weight on his gun belt. I conducted a brief investigation into gunbelts and found that officers endure almost systematic injuries as a result of their weight and poor distribution.
