My lifelong love for reading and learning translated into a career as a journalist.
Since becoming a journalist, there’s nothing I’ve learned more about than the Island where I grew up.
I graduated from Stony Brook University in 2021 with a degree in journalism and minors in environmental studies and U.
I started work days later as a town hall reporter at The Suffolk Times on the North Fork.
There, I learned about zoning and covered public hearings.
I wrote about the affordable housing crisis, and community opposition to hotels, and environmental advocates pushing to protect against light pollution.
I started at Newsday covering the Town of Islip in 2022.
Now, I’m working on the business team to cover personal finance and affordability – a crisis here on Long Island, where the cost of living only continues to grow.
I know how important these issues are for Long Islanders.
In turn, I feel very strongly about the role I play in informing Newsday readers about what’s happening in their communities.
Like every other reporter I know, my work here at Newsday isn’t just a job for me.
I became interested in journalism because I love to learn, and because I wanted to be a writer.
But it’s become so much more than that.
Taxpayers have a right to know how their money is being spent.
Residents deserve to know what kind of developments are being planned near their homes.
And everyone should know about the people working, bit by bit, to make Long Island a better place.
