Multimedia Journalist & Digital Storyteller

Feel free to call me Grace, Gray, etc.

I'm a journalist based in the New York Metropolitan Area with a passion for telling people-centered narratives. It’s my aim to highlight everyday individuals and uncover what is meaningful about the seemingly ordinary.

Growing up alongside the internet taught me the importance of quality information access and the value of shared stories. I aspire to use current technologies to produce both written and visual content that meets a wide range of audiences. My goal is to encourage community and understanding through well-researched, human-centric work.

I graduated in May 2025 from Syracuse University’s S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications with a Bachelor of Science in Magazine, News and Digital Journalism. I also achieved two minors in political science and sociology.

I am currently available for freelance work.

My work has been published in these places.
