The local news you read here every day is crafted for you, but right now, we need your help to keep it going. In these uncertain times, your support is even more important. Today, put a dollar value on the trustworthy reporting you rely on all year long. We can't hold those in power accountable and uplift voices from the community without your partnership. Thank you.

Los Angeles likes to talk a lot about what we need to fix: crippling traffic, the worsening homelessness crisis, and our sometimes paradoxical relationship with nature. But despite all the talk, what's actually being done? And what's actually working? I explore how our civic leaders, experts and everyday citizens are addressing these problems and what that means for you.

I grew up all over Southern California, from the Ventura County coast to the High Desert to the San Fernando Valley. I earned a bachelor's degree in journalism from Cal State Northridge, where I now teach part-time. I interned for KPCC way back in 2012 and returned to help jumpstart LAist in 2018. I live in Pasadena with my wife and two incorrigible cats.

I love that I get to be curious for a living. Is there anything about life in SoCal that you're curious about? Ask me below.
