About

I cover the California State University system for EdSource. I was previously a data reporter for the Center for Public Integrity, where my reporting on students experiencing homelessness received a special citation from IRE's Philip Meyer Journalism Award. While a master’s student and Knight-Hennessy Scholar at Stanford University, I contributed to Big Local News' Agenda Watch, a tool that turns government meeting documents into news tips for local reporters.
