I’m a Seattle-based journalist with a passion for serious local-level public interest journalism. Currently, I cover King County government, Sound Transit, and related affairs for Seattle Weekly as a County Reporter. In this capacity, I aim to produce compelling daily news coverage of the county bureaucracy and how public policy impacts people’s daily lives, as well as hard-hitting investigative reporting on government malfeasance. I also expect to graduate with a dual degree in journalism and political science from the University of Washington in June 2018.
