Reported and wrote 15 enterprise and news stories across Bloomberg’s entertainment, technology and local Los Angeles beats, and contributed reporting to an additional four stories.

Anchored two news videos featuring original reporting that were disseminated across Bloomberg’s website and social platforms, one of which garnered 43 million views on X. Compiled a dataset of investments in battery factories, electric vehicle assembly and solar energy from 2010 to today to track the impact of the CHIPS Act and Inflation Reduction Act.
