News ProducerI’m joining KALW News as a Beat Reporter Fellow, and this year I’ll be focusing on transportation issues in and around the Bay Area. I have a passion for work that is public service-oriented—a fascination that first developed while I served as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Central Asia. I’ve been a NPR Next Generation fellow with Colorado Public Radio, and I collaborated on an investigative story into the long term effects of wildfires with KUNC Northern Colorado. In my free time, you might find me seeking adventure in the Sierra Nevadas or the Mojave, or hanging out at home with my partner and our two cats.
