About Me

I am a journalist currently reporting from New York City for Inside Climate News. 

I have extensive experience in local reporting, culture reporting, audio journalism, and computational journalism. I enjoy immersing myself into small communities and telling their stories, be it through the written word, a podcast episode, or a data visualization project. Some of my most consequential articles include a story about tenant harassment in a former hotel, a personal reflection on a local tragedy, and an article covering a police event in the wake of a hate crime. I also love to write about local bands and DIY music culture. 

Originally from London, I moved to the United States to pursue a career in journalism. I have a B.A. in English Literature and History from the University of Virginia, and I recently graduated from Columbia Graduate School of Journalism.

Giji: local Baltimore band bends genres in recordings and live performances —

Decades-long friendships and family ties sit at the heart of Baltimore band Giji’s discography and live performances.

It would take only a cursory glance at Giji’s music discography to recognize that it completely defies categorization. The Baltimore band’s songs range from pop punk, to funk, to an indie rock sound over the course of a single album.

In just four years, the five-piece has released two albums and just as many EPs while embedding themselves in the Baltimore live music scene — des
