I started at The Florida Times-Union in May of 2019 full time as an education reporter, but quickly my responsibilities expanded. From running digital and serving as a lead reporter during large events and emergency coverage, to managing social media campaigns and town halls. Along with enterprise stories on the school and education quality in the northeast, a big part of my role is covering government, community and systemic issues and explaining to readers why they should care. Here are some of my favorite pieces:
- ‘We’re not done’: How students forced Duval Schools to amplify Black History Month
- Douglas Anderson school cancels race-separated student diversity meetings after outcry
