I explore and explain the forces that shape how and what kids learn from kindergarten to high school. Our K-12 education system has not always provided each child the same opportunities to succeed. How can schools create an environment where all students can learn? How do families navigate their child’s education amid life’s other challenges?
I started at LAist in 2019. My time on the early childhood beat helped me understand just how many factors shape kids’ lives, from health to child care access.
I grew up in Arizona where, among other things, I reported on education, saguaro cactus, and questions from people like you. My stories on the state’s 2018 teacher strike contributed to a national Edward R. Murrow award.
I want to hear from parents, educators, and students about what’s happening in their schools — the successes and challenges.
