Additionally, she organised Facebook Live discussions about COVID-19 with media journalists and UChicago Medicine experts.
She previously held positions at The Kansas City Star and the St. Paul Pioneer Press in Minnesota.

Before moving to Chicago, she had editing and art direction positions at The Kansas City Star and The St. Paul Pioneer Press in Minnesota.
