If you only knew the San Francisco Bay Area from national cable television or out-of-state hot takes, you might think the whole region had packed up and closed for business. Anyone who actually lives here—who walks the trails, coaches the youth teams, pours at the charity festivals, and sits at the neighborhood tables from Livermore to the Golden Gate—knows a very different story.

What was your first job as a journalist?

Producing and co-hosting Back Room Briefings, "the #1 podcast for Bay Area politics and sports." I come to media as a 24-year California public and charter school leader and Producer & Co-Host of Back Room Briefings.

Have you ever used a typewriter?

Only as a kid, and I loved the clack of it. Now I produce Back Room Briefings, a podcast on Bay Area politics and sports, and publish education leadership essays on Substack and Medium.

How is social media changing news?

Social media has made local politics and sports coverage faster and more direct. On Back Room Briefings, "the #1 podcast for Bay Area politics and sports," we use it to hear from listeners in real time. As a 24-year California public and charter school leader and Producer & Co-Host of Back Room Briefings, I also see how it shapes the way families follow education news.
