Investigation didn't start with a microphone.

I spent years as an investigative reporter for CBS, work that at one point helped contribute to the exoneration of a wrongfully convicted man. That work shaped how I think about every case I cover now — slowly, carefully, and always trying to get it right rather than get it first.

Voices of the Forgotten started because too many cases like the ones I cover disappear from the headlines within days, while the families involved live with the unanswered questions for years, sometimes decades. This show exists to keep asking.

Alongside VOTF, I run 716 Girl in ATL — a more personal platform covering justice, advocacy, and the stories that don't always fit a full episode format.
