D.C. Reporter
I’ve covered Congress and its important races from Washington for The Texas Tribune, plus the Supreme Court and the White House for Medill News Service, written features on Grammy-award winning artists for the Indianapolis Star, and led award-winning coverage of campus protests, polling and data reporting at the Daily Northwestern.
I’m a cum laude graduate of Northwestern’s Medill School of Journalism and an incoming master’s student in Politics and International Studies at Cambridge.
Selected work
A selection of pieces from Washington and beyond. Each one links to the published story.
The LinkedIn co-founder’s donation was nearly 80% of the pro-Talarico super PAC’s second-quarter haul. It comes as the Austin Democrat wages a campaign focused on keeping big money out of politics.

The bill raises penalties on fentanyl-related substances but leaves addiction treatment untouched — which experts say is why it will fall short.
