Texas Tribune Festival 2019

The Texas Tribune Festival is one of the nation’s largest, most buzzworthy political gatherings. Our three-day festival brings Texans together to address the politics and policy that affect our communities, our schools, our work and our daily lives. We hope you will join us.

Waco, TX

I’m the public education reporter for the Waco Tribune-Herald, but I’ve covered almost every beat in the past seven years, from local governments to crime and courts. I am innately curious and ask too many questions. I’m interested in politics and the state Legislature, especially recently passed laws that will impact school districts I cover in Central Texas.
