I'm a New York City-based journalist covering M&A for a financial news service called Mergermarket where I've broken stories on chip companies planning IPOs and major software deals.

I've also written for outlets including Quartz, Inc. Magazine, FiveThirtyEight and KQED.

My data-driven work includes analyzing datasets to uncover stories such as how most students study "practical" majors, which was referenced in The New York Times, as well as reporting on the black-white unemployment gaps in major US cities, women in trucking, state funding of colleges and tech tools US presidential campaigns are using.

Some of my favorite other stories include writing about Facebook corporate posters, how Revolve became a billion-dollar clothing company, Birkenstocks, whether an app can teach you how to sing, Uber wanting to work with public transit agencies and the risk of employee strikes surfacing in S-1 filings.

I received my undergraduate degree in journalism from Boston University, and I'm a first-generation college student. In a previous life, I was a competitive dancer.
