Business reporter
Yakima Herald-Republic |
I reported and wrote news articles, shot and edited video, and produced other content for both the 28,000-circulation print newspaper and its website, yakimaherald.com. I published breaking, daily and in-depth coverage of several topics, including healthcare, agriculture, immigration, the craft beverage industry, retail, tourism, and economic development. My reporting has garnered regional and statewide interest and led to my articles being published by news outlets such as The Seattle Times and Tri-City Herald.

Central/Eastern Washington Reporter
Cascade PBS |
I write various long-form news articles, timely short stories and other content on the region for the Seattle-based nonprofit newsroom. My coverage includes in-depth reporting on housing affordability, homelessness, agriculture, local and state politics and Latino voting rights issues. My stories are frequently republished in media outlets across the Pacific Northwest. I’ve also appeared on KUOW, the Seattle area public radio station, to discuss my coverage.
