In 2014, she received a National Geographic Young Explorers Grant to produce a multimedia project documenting the impact that construction of California's high speed rail system has had and will have on diverse communities in the Central Valley. She has worked for the Dallas Observer, covering homelessness, Texas foster care, and criminal justice, as well as in the heart of American oil country as a reporter for the daily paper of Midland, TX.
