The Colorado Sun
As a general assignment intern, I covered the state’s 2021 legislative session as well as business, education, and the environment in Colorado. I’ve written about:
Food assistance benefits for low-income children and universal free lunches (and talked about it on KUNC’s Colorado Edition)
Environmental news including snowpack , drought, and fire conditions
The pandemic slump and resurgence of Colorado hotels (and talked about it on the podcast)
