Read Full Bio →

I am a city hall reporter in Niagara Falls, N.Y. working for the Niagara Gazette the hometown daily publishing since 1854. I also do freelance work for local publications Artvoice and Block Club and have published with the investigative journalism center Investigative Post. My work in Niagara Falls allows me to explore the downfall of a city located next to a natural wonder and the people doing what they can to hang on and turn the place around.
