About

With over a decade of experience in the media industry, my core competencies lie in breaking news, in-depth journalism, and engaging podcasting at Slate Magazine. My mission is to deliver compelling narratives that resonate with our diverse audience, leveraging my expertise to deepen understanding on pivotal issues. At Slate, our values of insightful reporting and innovative content delivery are at the heart of every story we share, and my goal is to contribute to this with unique perspectives and storytelling acumen. As a Staff Writer and podcast host at Slate, I've had the privilege of leading the Slow Burn podcast for multiple seasons, melding my skills in journalism and blogging to create immersive audio experiences. Collaborating with a dedicated team, we've fostered a platform that not only informs but also captivates, underscoring the intersection of race, sports, and culture—a realm where my reporting background with ESPN and BuzzFeed has been invaluable.
