About

In 2018 I left the comfortable confines of a steady, rewarding career to devote my energies to advocating for those in harm’s way. Since 2019, I have made seven trips to the U.S.-Mexico border to volunteer with organizations helping migrants and asylum seekers pursuing their legal right to seek refuge in the United States.

I will continue to advocate for the oppressed in ways that make the best use of my skills as a journalist, advocate and compassionate human being. As my hero Bryan Stevenson says, we need to become “proximate” to those who suffer to bring about positive change in the world.
