Deep reporting. High impact. Real change.

Behind every investigation is a person who deserved better.

My reporting examines the fault lines where institutions break down — unsafe trucking companies that endanger families, secret aircraft trusts that mask ownership, unlicensed boarding homes that exploit the elderly and vulnerable, and caregivers who abuse disabled Texans. Across these projects, my work seeks to illuminate hidden systems, expose accountability gaps, and give the public a clear understanding of the forces shaping their lives.
