I write for Curious Iowa, a Gazette series that answers readers’ questions about our state and how it works. I produce news and feature videos and the On Iowa Politics podcast. Wisconsinite turned Iowan and Hawkeye. When I’m not at The Gazette, I can be found tending my garden, playing piano, crocheting or juggling.
