I am an investigative journalist based in Los Angeles. I chose journalism because it allows me to continually learn and delve deeply into complex issues—something I am deeply passionate about. My investigative work has focused on a range of topics, including the environment, the California state prison system, the court system, immigration, and the federal government.

My previous reporting has appeared in the San Francisco Chronicle, Berkeleyside, and Contra Costa Pulse. Additionally, I have contributed investigative research for KQED and ProPublica.
