I am a contributing reporter for The Daily Dot's tech and politics section by day and an M.A. in Journalism candidate at NYU's Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute by night. I specialize in well-sourced, data-driven stories about organized labor, business, tech policy, and more.

As a freelance journalist, I have authored articles for The Chief, InsuranceNewsNet, Nonprofit Quarterly, Deadspin, and These Football Times, and I interned for NBC at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.

On a recent Tuesday night, the hottest show at the Alamo Drafthouse in Downtown Brooklyn wasn't Bong Joon-ho's new sci-fi flick "Mickey 17" or the family-friendly "Paddington in Peru." It was arguably the two dozen Alamo workers on strike outside,...
