I am passionate about journalism and the fight against disinformation. I have seen the damage that fake news and misinformation can cause, which is why I am now dedicated to solving this problem at Legitimate. In my role at Legitimate, I use my skills and experience to help combat disinformation and promote accurate, reliable, and trustworthy information. In my free time, I enjoy practicing mixed martial arts, sky diving, and taking my dog for walks..
