Experience
Political Reporter
Aug 2020 — Present · Denver, CO, US
Spearheaded public interest reporting that exposed congressional pressure on Colorado’s governor, prompting strengthened state protections against ICE collaboration and legal challenges. Delivered real-time, high-pressure political coverage during Colorado’s school funding crisis, breaking exclusive updates that shaped public response and informed key stakeholders. Built trusted partnerships with the governor’s office, state Attorney General, and emergency management PIOs, coordinating flexible interviews to ensure clear messaging supporting policy and public safety. Crafted strategic messaging for Colorado’s gun training law by integrating balanced interviews and expert insights to refocus public debate on policy impact rather than politics.
