Her primary reporting subjects include gender and social justice, the environment, and economy.

Over her career she has covered the Somali immigrant population in Southeastern Minnesota, mid-Missouri’s early meth epidemic, Traumatic Brain Injuries in young people, and sex assault at Fort Eisenhower.
