Hi, I'm an audio and investigative reporter with more than a decade of experience in journalism. 

Currently, I'm a reporter at LAist 89.3 (KPCC), an NPR affiliate station in Los Angeles, covering issues affecting young children and their families. Before taking on the early childhood beat, I was on LAist’s investigative team.

My reporting on nursing homes during the pandemic propelled changes in state law and prompted calls for more oversight. My work has been recognized by the Sacramento Press Club and has been a finalist for IRE and Gerald Loeb awards. I grew up in the San Gabriel Valley and am happy to be reporting in a place I call home.

Before coming to LAist, I worked at NPR stations in Atlanta and Washington, D.C., where my focus was on healthcare, immigration and state politics. When I’m not reporting, I’m chasing down my two young children.

My work has aired on NPR's Morning Edition & All Things Considered, Marketplace, and WNYC among others. From 2017-2018, I was an investigative reporting fellow with Reveal from the Center for Investigative Reporting, and was named by the Atlanta Press Club as "Rising Star" in 2016.
