She went on to the Amsterdam News, where she was nominated for an award for a multi-part series on AIDS/HIV in the African-American community.

After getting her master’s in journalism at Columbia, she worked as a features editor for Manhattan Media’s Our TownWest Side SpiritChelsea Clinton News and The Westsider.
