The Detroit Free Press |
- Built the child welfare beat from scratch with award-winning enterprise reporting that opened a window into the wellbeing of children and families in Michigan and landed over 62% of my stories on the front page and nine on USA Today
- Some of the impact from my stories:
- After my reporting revealed system flaws, Michigan’s Office of the Auditor General agreed to audit the Child Development and Care subsidy program, and lawmakers introduced legislation to fix it
- After my reporting showed foster care kids were being wrongfully denied food aid, the state’s health and human services dept. dedicated staff to handle foster care food assistance applications
- A 24-hour daycare owner I profiled was able to open a second center and offer health insurance to her employees after my story created national media attention and a $25K celebrity donation
