Biography

BA/MA Data Journalism and GIS student at DePaul University in Chicago, IL. Focusing on a variety of issues, I enjoy data-driven longform and multimedia pieces, and enjoy covering Illinois politics, the nuclear industry and environmental impacts of industries, transportation, urban development, and issues impacting students and higher education. Big FOIA fan, I love maps, and, hey, Chicago's winters aren't that bad.

Company Info

Illinois Answers Project

The Better Government Association (BGA) is a non-partisan, nonprofit organization based in Chicago, dedicated to promoting government transparency, accountability, and equity. Founded in 1923, the BGA serves as a watchdog for public integrity in Illinois, focusing on investigative journalism and policy advocacy to expose corruption and advocate for systemic reforms. The BGA operates two main teams: the Illinois Answers Project, which publishes investigative reports and data analyses, and the BGA Policy, which focuses on legislative advocacy. The organization uncovers waste and fraud in government through in-depth reporting and engages in litigation to promote open records and meetings. It collaborates with media outlets like the Chicago Tribune and Sun-Times to amplify its findings and provides resources to help citizens understand government operations. With a commitment to editorial independence, the BGA ensures unbiased reporting while working with journalists, policymakers, and civic organizations to drive meaningful change in government practices. Its efforts have historically led to significant reforms, making it a vital part of civic accountability in Illinois.
