I cover mergers, pharma, supply chain, legal and finance, among other topics.I reported general and business news in the Santa Barbara area for seven years. I was the real estate and finance editor at the Pacific Coast Business Times. I generated story ideas, wrote a weekly real estate column, shot photos, covered economic development, the oil and gas industry, banking, tourism, health care, biotech, nonprofits, and law for the weekly tri-county business journal. I shot photos and contributed brief radio spots with the local NPR affiliate KCLU, recapping local stocks and the latest news during All Things Considered.Prior, I was a staff reporter at Mission and State — a nonprofit journalism website that delivered investigative journalism through multimedia and narrative writing. It delved into complex stories with unique angles, visuals and context. I cultivated sources on policy-changing stories through an independent, nonprofit lens. The Investigative News Network lauded the site as a model for nonprofit, multimedia journalism.After graduating from Cal Poly SLO, I joined Noozhawk as an intern and eventually staff reporter. I wrote multiple stories a day for the news website in Santa Barbara, contributed photography and produced videos. I tripled the readership of Noozhawk's business section through accurate and thorough reporting. At Cal Poly, I was the managing editor of the Mustang Daily, one of the only student-run and student-printed daily papers in the nation. I managed a staff of nearly two dozen photographers, writers and designers and designed sections in InDesign five nights a week. I was a copy editor and stringer prior, writing up sports games on deadline.
