I am an audio and print reporter born and raised in Sonoma County. I’m currently an intern at KQED The California Report Magazine, working on long-form audio stories and helping produce the weekly half-hour show. Previously, I interned at POLITICO California, working on the daily politics newsletter and creating audio content for POLITICO Newsroom. I also interned at The Sacramento Bee as a Capitol Bureau intern, covering the state Legislature and environmental policy.
