Yesterday marked my final day @POLITICOEurope. I’ve had a great time in this newsroom and it breaks my heart to go. I can’t express how grateful I am to everyone on this incredible staff for their unwavering support during these past few months. #mubxl

Some professional news: today is my last day @startelegram, I couldn't have asked for a better first job out of college. I've loved my time here and I've had the best editors and colleagues to learn from and grow.

This was a production error that we noted in a letter to our readers the following day. Nonetheless it’s a humiliating error but we’ve made changes to make sure it doesn’t happen again.

Excited to announce upon my return home i’ll be joining the newsroom @TexasTribune as a reporting fellow. The Tribune has been the gold standard for non profit journalism in Texas and it’s still surreal to be joining this team.

In additional to the gorgeous photos @joet1mm took for this piece. Here’s some pictures he got of me in the field. So thankful to the people of Comal County who let us come to their corner of their world and tell their story. texastribune.org/2023/07/13/tex…

Replying to @RobertDownen_
Please. You never had any intention of covering our side. Your questions were not even trying to hide the slant. You're a pathetic journalist.
