Energy Reporter

My job is to cover energy — which may sound like an abstract topic, but is something that impacts your life all the time. To keep our lights on, we all depend on private companies and government leaders to make complex decisions that determine how much we pay and how the environment is impacted. I'm interested in digging into which neighborhoods bear the brunt of those decisions, plus how they contribute to — or are influenced by — climate change. I was previously the senior political writer as well as a reporter in our Tallahassee bureau, so I'm well-acquainted with the world of influence. I'm originally from Arizona, a state that instilled in me a love of hiking and tacos al pastor. Have a tip or story idea? Drop me a line.
