State Government ReporterTallahassee can feel far away — especially for anyone who’s driven on a congested Florida interstate. But for me, it’s home.
As WUSF’s state government reporter, I live in and report out of the capital city, so I can give you the firsthand flavor and facts from this news epicenter. I focus on Your Florida, a project connecting people with policies passed in Tallahassee.
I was already covering the Florida Capitol as a print journalist when I joined public radio, working for the USA TODAY NETWORK-Florida. As Florida’s first First Amendment reporter, I brought focus and clarity to complicated, contentious issues and held public officials accountable.
Before that, I worked as a state government reporter in my home state, West Virginia.
Outside of work, I love to read and write on top of a slew of other hobbies that are a testament to why I love living in Tallahassee: hiking, biking, kayaking, playing pickleball, and, of course, complaining about Florida traffic.
