My work as a writer and researcher is grounded in a commitment to education policy and reform that began in 2018, following the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. I was twenty and studying abroad in England for the semester and when I saw the 17 people who would not make it home to their families after school that day, I knew I needed to take action. What started as a belief that the system needed to change quickly became a deeper understanding of how complex, fragmented, and inequitable that system is. I began researching media literacy education and youth mental health advocacy at 21, focusing on where policy, pedagogy, and student well-being intersect most urgently.

I went on to start and lead multiple collegiate clubs regarding education reform at Colorado State University before graduating with my B.A. in English: Secondary Education in MAy of 2020. After that, I was an IBMYP-Certified English Language Arts Teacher in Breckenridge, Colorado for four years. In this position, I had the chance to create and pass education equity policy, lead multiple community-engagement-focused student organizations, and work with some of the most driven and passionate young people I have ever met.

My work is informed through classroom experience , district-level equity policy research, publication, and my data analytics certification. I have authored four publications—two research and two creative—and bring a practitioner-informed but research-driven perspective to my writing. Today, I work as a freelance writer specializing in education reform and policy, partnering with nonprofits, think tanks, and mission-driven organizations seeking clarity, rigor, and insight. My goal is simple: to turn complex systems into stories that inform, challenge, and help move education toward meaningful change through insights grounded in research for the real world.
