While at NYU, she interned at CNN, MSNBC and KPRC2, and reported as a foreign correspondent when studying abroad in Germany, Australia, Ghana and Cuba. Her coverage on the Ghanaian economy’s dependence on women-owned, open-air market stalls was awarded the Edgar Wilson Nye Prize for outstanding student journalism.

She also co-hosted newscast segments on online trends and won an Investigative Reporters and Editors fellowship for showing promise in early-career watchdog reporting. She then wrote about global events for theSkimm and covered Texas for Hearst Newspapers. At Stanford, she wants to use data, investigative skills and programming to uncover mental health and disability-related stories, among other underreported issues.
