About

I have more than seven years of experience as a professional journalist. After I majored in print journalism and creative writing at the University of Houston, I began covering community news shortly and have been hooked on it ever since. I've reported on education, flood control, business, development and mobility across the Houston area. As a managing editor at Community Impact, I ensure the quality of seven monthly newspapers and our daily web content. I'm skilled at building online interactive graphics, editing for AP Style and crafting a good story. Let's connect!
