Hi, I’m Elijah

I’m a journalist and recent graduate from Northeastern University’s Media Innovation and Data Communication M.S. program. In my work, I strive to incorporate data analysis, historical context, and human narratives in creating personal, impactful journalism. I’m currently based in New York City, but have lived and worked in Kentucky, Boston, and Denver.

I have had my work published in The Texas Tribune, Bloomberg, The Boston Globe, WBUR, WCVB-TV, The Emancipator, Financial Planning, The Drive, The Scope, The Pinnacle, Berea College News and Radio, The Bigger Picture, Curious, the Garrard Central Record, and The Interior Journal.
