Some career news: after 3 unforgettable yrs with Fort Worth Report, I’m leaving to join Flatwater Free Press as their new Lincoln reporter. I’m thrilled to join a team I’ve admired from afar for years, and continue my accountability reporting in a new community.

You helped build a newsroom that puts our community first. Now, we're teaming up with @ProPublica and the Texas Tribune in a statewide initiative to deepen accountability journalism — all while keeping our focus right here at home. #HappyBirthdayFWR propublica.org/atpropublica/f…

What a management disaster this was, from start to finish. Absolutely amazing that this couldn’t be pulled off in a metro of 7.5 million and with all that Texas money. My thoughts are with the journalists, who did far better work than their bosses. houstonlanding.org/houston-landin…

I can’t even explain how I’m feeling right now. This newsroom has meant so much to me. Houston is my home and I can’t even believe what the loss of this newsroom will mean to communities. 💔 houstonlanding.org/houston-landin…

We remain committed to supporting our members after the Houston Landing's board of directors voted to cease operations in mid-May. Full statement below:

1/ Last week, I found out @hou_landing would close in May. It hasn’t been an easy week, but what hurts the most are the promises we won't be able to fulfill to the communities here. I always prioritized community-centered stories here and I hope to continue that in my next gig.
