Planet Forward Chautauqua Fellow | University of Connecticut

Major / Minor: Journalism/Sociology

Graduation Year: 2026

I am a recent graduate of the University of Connecticut and look forward to using journalism to make the world a better place! I am currently the environmental reporting fellow at The Chautauquan Daily, where I report on Chautauqua Lake and environmental issues in the area. I was the news editor at UConn's Daily Campus and wrote for the paper since my freshman year. I also interned for a local news station at home in Philadelphia. I love being in nature and have had the privilege of seeing its beauty up close throughout my life, so I am passionate about environmental justice and spreading the benefit of a good relationship with our environment through my writing.
