Hi, I’m Lauren. I am an investigative reporter covering the California economy for the nonprofit newsroom at CalMatters. Stories I’ve written have been published by the New York Times, the San Francisco Chronicle, the L.A. Times, the Guardian and Slate. I’ve also worked as a stringer, a Spanish translator and a fixer for the BBC, Der Spiegel and New York Times housing reporter Conor Dougherty’s 2020 book ‘Golden Gates.’ In previous staff roles, I reported on housing, labor and tech for Protocol and the Silicon Valley Business Journal, and I juggled feature writing and editing as the managing editor of Santa Cruz alt-weekly Good Times. I’ve been interviewed about my reporting on national and local radio programs, documentaries and TV shows, and I have moderated a range of live events and panel discussions.
