Journalism is about discovering the truth and making that information accessible to the public. I want to help in that effort. Growing up in San Jose surrounded me with technological advancements from an early age. As a journalist, I’m very passionate about the ways policy and tech have impacted our everyday lives. I have reported on the intersection of policy and tech as an intern with POLITICO California and got my start as a journalist during the 2016 election, covering Berkeley’s elections for the Daily Californian. Outside of journalism, I’m learning more about keeping houseplants and calligraphy.
