Community Reporter (he/him)
I work to gain the trust of Cleveland residents through direct community engagement and storytelling. My goal is to amplify and celebrate the residents and stakeholders who contribute to the success of city neighborhoods. I’m hoping to erase the negative stigma that has been cast on some neighborhoods throughout the years.

Health Reporter (she/her)
With the help of your questions and expertise, I want to understand how Clevelanders get their health and wellness needs met. I focus on women's health and lead poisoning.
