I established a student-run publication at UC Berkeley that is a branch of the Davis Vanguard in order to bring a stronger student voice to the justice system in Alameda County. I recruited and co-manage over 20 student reporters and editors at our 4 desks. I research and contact public defenders, local officials, and organizations for leads on injustices for our writers to investigate. I also design flyers and manage our Instagram page to advertise our reporter’s articles.

I watch courtroom hearings while taking notes of what I see. I write articles about what happens in trials, preliminary hearings, arraignments, or any peculiar event in court to promote transparency, accountability, and information for the public about our local justice system. I collaborate with other interns to write articles about long court cases and investigative pieces. Since going virtual, I watch courtrooms in many different CA counties. I’m also investigating Sacramento county’s lack of transparency with COVID-19 data in its county jail and youth detention center.
