What I cover
I focus on making local government and elections accessible. This includes highlighting the ways people can flex their individual power to make change in their communities.
My background
I joined LAist in 2016 and spent four years as the newsroom’s social media lead. Since 2020, I’ve worked with the community engagement team, focusing on building connections between our newsroom and the communities we serve. I’ve helped cover nearly every election throughout my time here: writing voter guides, covering results through our post-election newsletter and personally answering hundreds of voter questions.
My goals
I want to help people better understand how local government works so they can feel empowered to participate in it.
