I'm a journalist and fact-checker.

I am a freelance journalist interested in many things, but who finds myself recently drawn toward stories about the intersection of religion and politics. My work has appeared in Mother Jones and all over Ohio, including The Columbus Dispatch and NBC4 in Columbus, and has been republished in USA Today, LGBTQ Nation, and Them, among other places. My favorite stories to tell are the ones found downstream from decisions and power-plays—where policy meets practice.

Most recently, I was an editorial fellow at The Center for Investigative Reporting, where I fact-checked some of the most sensitive investigations from Mother Jones magazine and the Reveal podcast and reported on education, gender and reproductive health, and Christian nationalism, often through a Midwestern or Ohio lens. Prior to that, I was a digital reporter at NBC4 in Columbus, covering K-12 and higher education, local and state politics, state courts, and elections.
