After going to the best journalism school in the land (#MIZ) she knew she wanted to spend the rest of her life using words in beautiful and educational ways. Her favorite topics to write about include social and criminal justice issues such as poverty, incarceration and homelessness, as well as the law and courts. This passion stems for her weekly volunteering at DC's family homeless shelter, where she helps kids be kids every Tuesday though the Homeless Children's Playtime Project.
