What I Cover
I write about how policies and laws impact vulnerable people. I’m interested in highlighting problems and issues faced by those who are often ignored or overlooked.
My Background
My work at ProPublica has focused on the people who are harmed by inequitable policies and laws. For a series on homeless encampment sweeps, our team spoke to more than 150 people who had experienced them.
I grew up in Arizona and after college spent 12 years at the Los Angeles Times, where I reported on communities historically overlooked by the newspaper. I led the Homicide Report, which documented every homicide in Los Angeles County. I reported on hundreds of people whose lives were altered by violence, highlighted neighborhoods disproportionately impacted by violence and uncovered trends, such as an increase in women being killed even as officials hailed a decline in murders.
