The Journalist

As a video editor at Morning Brew, I help shape long-form and short-form video content across YouTube and social platforms. I've edited everything from daily business news and video podcasts to educational courses and advertiser integrations, collaborating closely with hosts, producers, and motion designers.

Before Morning Brew, I spent several years at The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times, where I helped launch new video teams, produced hundreds of reporter-fronted videos, and worked across YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, and Snapchat.

At The Times, I also helped manage the flagship @nytimes Instagram account — curating the feed, publishing Stories, writing captions, and working closely with editors, designers, and photo teams to translate reporting into visual storytelling.

Across my work, I focus on clarity, accuracy, strong visuals, and making complex stories accessible, no matter the platform. Earlier in my career, I gained newsroom experience at NBC Nightly News, CNBC, NBC Los Angeles (KNBC), and NPR's KUT in Austin.

I earned a degree in broadcast and digital journalism from the University of Southern California, which I attended as a Gates Millennium Scholar.
