I reported more than 100 stories covering the Bay Area and California during the time I worked for KQED from 2021 to 2023. Some stories I reported locally were picked up for air by NPR. You can listen to some of my work below.<\/p>\r\n
KQED was my first job in journalism which I started during my sophomore year of college and where I remained until I graduated.<\/p>\r\n

The station’s Which Way Forward series examined policing at a time when the city and country was reevaluating approaches to public safety. I reported and voiced two episodes in this series.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n Which Way Forward: What the Plan is Made of<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\r\n On April 1st, Ithaca and Tompkins County submitted their plans for reforming public safety. Although the Common Council and the County Legislature have committed to the points of their plans, they still have a long way to go before they’re realized. The recommendations don’t have the mechanics and power of policy behind them yet, and so they still have to be prove. In this episode, we look at some of the recommendations that have the most promise for changing public safety to be more equitable. This episode of Which Way Forward was co-reported by Ithaca College Park Scholars Emily Hung and Skylar Eagle. WRFI News Director, Jimmy Jordan, edited and produced today’s episode. Music is by BlueDotSessions.<\/span><\/p>\r\nKQED<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
