I lead News Inside and Inside Story, bridging information gaps for incarcerated people nationwide. I oversee an award-winning magazine that reaches hundreds of facilities, while hosting and executive producing videos for all audiences.
My Background
I bring authenticity to criminal justice journalism that can’t be manufactured — I lived it. After experiencing incarceration in New York State prisons beginning at age 17, I understand the information hunger and the humanity behind bars that society overlooks.
Since joining The Marshall Project in 2018, I’ve built bridges between inside and outside worlds. I founded News Inside, our news magazine that we circulate in more than 1,600 facilities nationwide, and I host Inside Story, our video series available in over 1,400 prisons and jails.
My work has earned recognition several times: News Inside won the 2020 Izzy Award and was later studied by University of Pennsylvania researchers. Inside Story received a Peabody nomination, National Press Photographers Association first prize and Gather Award. I won a 2021 EPPY Award and helped create “The Zo,” an illustrated video mini series that earned an Edward R. Murrow Award.
Every story connects to learning that information is power and everyone deserves to be seen as human.
