I'm an 18-year-old journalist covering local, state, and national headlines from Toledo, Ohio. Welcome to my channel!
My journey to becoming an award-winning, nationally-recognized reporter/anchor began in 2019, with coverage of events in my hometown. That same year, I had my "big break" — an interview with presidential hopeful Elizabeth Warren.
It was followed by appearances on CBS This Morning, CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, as well as write-ups in The Washington Post, The New York Times, The Root, and many others. And soon after, I made the first of many appearances on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, interviewing influential celebrities, including Oprah Winfrey, Brad Pitt, Naomi Osaka, Modern Family's Eric Stonestreet, and in 2022, Ellen herself, as part of her final season.
I've also been featured on the nationally-syndicated Live with Kelly and Mark, reported for the Sky News young adult show 'FYI' in the U.K., and hosted on local radio.

For the debut episode of This Week in the World, I sat down with Katherine Jacobsen from the Committee to Protect Journalists. We discussed global threats to press freedom, following a 20-year sentence being handed down to Hong Kong-based Jimmy Lai.

At any given time, there are a number of stories unfolding in our world — that's why I'm launching a new, weekly podcast to bring clarity and perspective to them: from geopolitics, to climate change, to democracies under pressure, to the intersection of a changing world order and an evolving global economy.
Each Saturday on 'This Week in the World,' I'm discussing these relevant topics, alongside experts in international relations, history, science, and economics. 🌎
You can stream the first episode, and all future ones, here on YouTube 📺 and on Spotify. 🎧 (The show will gradually become available on additional platforms, so stay tuned for updates on those.)

Watch ▶️ The temporary protected status (TPS) of Ohio's Haitian refugees appeared to be on the brink of being revoked by the Trump administration — until this week, when a federal judge blocked the administration from doing so, as this plays out in court.
On Saturday, in support of the Haitian refugees, demonstrations were held across the state — including in Toledo, where I spoke with the leader of a smaller gathering.↴ https://youtu.be/bBP198Qh5RI?si=jZQxR...
