Summary
With 15 years under my belt as a legal mediator, I've learned a thing or two about digging deep and finding the heart of a matter. Now, I want to bring that same dedication to political reporting. I pride myself on my top-notch research skills – I don't just skim the surface; I dive in. My background also gives me a sharp edge when it comes to technical writing, so I can break down tricky law and politics topics in a way that everyone can understand. I'm passionate about shedding light on the important issues, bringing clarity, and sparking meaningful conversations.
