About Me
Hi, I'm Mia!
I'm a digital journalist curious about state politics and education.
I dove into Arizona politics as a nonpartisan Senate page, scurrying back and forth to deliver legislative briefs to senators and updating lobbyists on bills passing through committees. I quickly picked up on how state government works and the disconnects between what people read about and what's actually happening behind closed doors.
With my experience being in the Capitol and standing outside of it as a reporter, I want to reconcile these two realities and make politics practical for readers, a tool that's part of their daily routine rather than a chore that exhausts them.
Politics is so much more than partisan gridlock and endless scandal. It affects everything we do, and I think a political reporter's job is showing how what goes on behind the Capitol's sliding glass doors touches our everyday lives.
