• As a local government reporter, I produce daily and enterprise stories around local politics, housing affordability, infrastructure, immigration and education in Newark and surround cities.
• I have led local and national coverage of Newark's ongoing public health crisis as lead levels in the drinking water continue to rise. My reporting has contradicted city messaging around the problem, been picked up nationally and led to appearances on WNYC and NPR's The Takeaway.
• My stories have touched on gruesome health violations at a local animal shelter, illegal campaign contributions and local developers mired in federal investigations.
