While in grad school, she covered the European Union as an intern for Reuters in Brussels and contributed to the New York Times's blog The Local, covering Fort Greene and Clinton Hill. A multimedia story she wrote for The Local about two families' long history in a building destroyed by a fire won her a Society of Professional Journalists award for online news reporting.
