I know I haven’t been posting here lately, but that’s probably a good thing. Anyways, this was my first A1 story for the LA Times, which has been a great internship thus far. One more month to go!

Students get green! →
For a long time, I wanted to be an education reporter. I honestly think that many of society’s issues start in a school. They’re just such interesting places, educational politics are crazy and talking to students about their lives honestly, sometimes, makes my day.
Of course, I’m scared about trying to focus on one specialty as a reporter, but I still get warm and fuzzy from...
Homeless horses →
I liked this story because it was not only about the shelters but also about a huge horse seizure in Crook County. It combined police reporting with reporting about nonprofits. I’m hoping to do some followups about this case because it is now a huge fraud/money laundering case that has roots in California.

The grow-your-own phenomenon →
I traveled to several gardens (some on the outskirts of Bend), met some baby yellow birds and called numerous cities and counties to ask if one can have chickens in his or her backyard. My beginning question was, so if I bought 5 chickens could I keep them in the backyard? What’s the rule? Many laughed, others simply had no clue. One reason I liked writing this story was because I’m...

Loan crisis? Not at pawn shops. →
This was a last-minute story for The Bulletin when our editors realized they didn’t have enough art for the front page. I actually liked writing it. Before this, I had never been in a pawn shop, and was one of the people who thought they were scary places with jail-like bar windows. Again, one of those things I like about my job: I didn’t think when I woke up yesterday that I’d...
