Local News
My experience in writing about local news began in 2021 during my internship with Portland Monthly Magazine. I helped with research and fact-checking and conducted interviews. The information I collected was featured in the magazine's 2021 summer guide. I also wrote articles based on local news in several states across the U.S. examples of my reporting of local and state news between 2024 and 2025 are below.
