Current Work
As of December 2021, I work full-time as a researcher and fact-checker for historian and journalist Garrett M. Graff, assisting with research for his latest book project and a mix of other projects.
I previously worked as a researcher and media analyst at Media Matters for America, where I covered right-wing media, disinformation, and online extremism, and focused on figures including Alex Jones and Steve Bannon. Some of the public work I wrote and to which I contributed research, can be found below.

Past Journalism Experience
While a student at Middlebury College, I worked as a journalist throughout the state of Vermont, including at the Burlington Free Press (USA Today Network), the largest daily newspaper in the state, and the Addison County Independent. My reporting was republished in USA Today and the Associated Press, and I once freelanced in Vermont for the Washington Post.
I served as the editor-in-chief of the student newspaper, The Middlebury Campus. While there, I oversaw a number of projects, including the paper's first-ever special issue dedicated to the 2018 midterm elections. The college became the subject of several national stories during my time as an editor, and our reporting was routinely cited by national outlets.
During the summer of 2016, I worked part-time as an editorial intern at JazzTimes, where I wrote for the magazine's daily news blog and assisted as a videographer at the Newport Jazz Festival.
