INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALIST · NARRATIVE AUDIO · PUBLIC SYSTEMS REPORTING

I’m an investigative journalist and narrative audio producer reporting on public systems, institutional power, and the paper trail behind civic life.

My work starts with records: court filings, public documents, policy design, archives, contracts, data gaps, and the decisions institutions leave behind. People come first in the work, but to understand what they are living through honestly, you have to understand the machinery around them.

I report across several lanes. Through AfroLA, I cover Black Los Angeles with a focus on renters, workers, families, local government, elections, agencies, and the systems people are forced to navigate. Through The New Standard, I build document-driven investigative audio that follows public claims back to the record and stays with stories long enough to show how power actually works.

The format changes depending on the story: narrative audio, longform reporting, essays, documents, reporting notes, and public-facing explainers. The standard does not. If a detail is not solid, it does not go in.

This site is the home base for my reporting, audio work, selected projects, and professional materials. It is built for readers, editors, producers, collaborators, and anyone who wants journalism with context, receipts, and enough patience to hold up tomorrow.
