Born and raised in Nebraska, I’ve politely chuckled at many jokes about becoming a Hawkeye. Today I was asked who I’m rooting for when the Hawks face the Huskers in the Sweet 16, and I gave the only correct answer #gohawks. I was called a “turncoat,” which takes the cake.

I’ve covered immigration policy going on two years now, and there’s never an end to the stories that need telling. Check out my latest with @TheDailyIowan, which takes a look at how international students at the UI are navigating sweeping changes as they plan for their futures.

I sat down with Sen. Ernst and Rep. Miller-Meeks to discuss back pay for furloughed workers, which President Donald Trump has threatened to withhold as the government shutdown stretches through its fourth week. Here’s what they told me:

I wasn’t in D.C. last week to report, but I honestly couldn’t help myself. Reporting on “No Kings” day from the nation’s capital checked off a massive goal of mine that I didn’t think would happen until much much later into my career. Check out all coverage @TheDailyIowan
