About Me

I am a reporter and writer with an extensive background in data analysis and statistics. I earned dual master’s degrees from Columbia Graduate School of Journalism and Columbia School of International and Public and Affairs.

I have reported on criminal justice in Hawaii, public health in Harlem and other topics in other places that don't begin with the letter '-H.'

I am the recipient of the Phillip Greer Award for Outstanding Financial Writing for my story on the luxury fitness industry, and unofficially for picking the best stock in my business writing class. 

Prior to attending Columbia, I spent five years living in New York City where I spent most of my time staring at Excel during the day and staring down opposing basketball players at night. I am in too many men's basketball leagues and always open to joining more. 

You can reach me with tips, compliments or job offers atji2292@columbia.edu.
