L.A. Explained Reporter
(they/them)
My job can look a little different depending on the day, but I'm always trying to build relationships between LAist and Los Angeles. I've helped answer thousands of questions, but my biggest joy comes from telling a good story.
While the Eastside was my home for the last decade, I'm now figuring out what the L.A. experience is like from the San Fernando Valley. In my free time, I consider myself a wannabe foodie who's trying to explore all the mind-blowing flavors I can. I think the word "y'all" deserves more respect.
