Experience

Web Editor, SPJ New England (June 2026 - Present) — Took over and redesigned SPJNE.org after 2 years of inactivity, working to recruit contributors and cover chapter events and journalism industry news.

The Mass Media (Aug. 2024 - Present) —As managing editor, I led 27 student reporters and editors in biweekly print publication for UMass Boston's independent student newspaper. In addition to writing and editing dozens of articles, including breaking news and live election night coverage, I worked with the editor in chief on hiring and training and manage the paper's six-figure budget as its treasurer. I now work on special projects and long-term investigations as a contributing editor.

Portfolio

Summit Funds Sent To Vatican Total $380k — A yearlong investigation found that senior administrators at UMass Boston used university resources to fundraise more than $500k for Vatican-linked climate events, making $380k in payments directly a a Vatican bank account. In compiling this report, I reviewed more than 2,000 pages of public records obtained after filing seven appeals with the state administrative office overseeing compliance. The public records requests underlying this report were recognized as the April 2026 winner of a monthly FOIA contest sponsored by SPJ New England, MuckRock and the New England First Amendment Coalition.

ICE Revokes UMass Visas — Just hours after the chancellor sent an email to students informing them that the Trump administration revoked visas and legal statuses of 7 current and former students, I published a 500-word article about the developments online. At the same time, I worked with our production team to put this story on the cover of our next biweekly edition, set to go to press the following night. I continued to update the story up until deadline, and led a team writing live updates as the story developed throughout the following weeks. This story was recognized as a finalist for the 2025 SPJ Mark of Excellence Award in Region 1.

Speaker Choice Supported Woodbury Teacher’s Abuser — My story that the Shaker Heights City School District's choice for commencement speaker, alumna and former secretary of Housing and Urban Development Marcia Fudge, had written a letter supporting a former judge when he was arrested for abusing his wife, a Shaker teacher, sparked a petition drive that reached 900 signatures and was picked up by at least five professional media outlets.

Vigil Organizers Told to Disband for Lack of Notice — Administrators at UMass Boston instructed organizers of a vigil mourning the execution of Marcellus Williams and "lives lost within the global imperial structure" to disband their demonstration for noncompliance with the campus space use policy. The organizers refused. University officials repeatedly attempted to impede my coverage because they objected to my photographing administrators and campus police gathered at the edge of the protest.
