🧵1/3: I'm truly blessed to be able to share not one, but two big announcements:
First, I'm so grateful to be joining the Los Angeles Times as a sports desk intern this summer. Covering baseball is my dream and goal, and I'm thrilled to be getting a glimpse
@HandlerLiana Congrats on everything, Liana!
Being in your shoes last year — there’s nothing like covering the Dodgers with the @latimes crew. Soak it all in!
If I can be of any help ever, please let me know. 🙌🏻
@edguzm@LAT_Iliana@maddie_m_lee 🧵3/3: Second, the West Coast journey doesn't stop. I'm also heading up to Portland to continue broadening my horizons and finding new sports stories. Thank you to everyone at @Oregonian (@OregonianSports) and @Report4America who helped me take this next step.
🧵2/3: Thank you to @edguzm and @LAT_Iliana for your belief in me (and Dodgers beat writer @maddie_m_lee, who continues to field all my random baseball questions with a smile). Read all of the desk's coverage of Los Angeles sports here: https://t.co/1Kiv2L6FfV
This has been a very tough decision. But this summer, I’m going to take my talents to Minneapolis and join @StribSports as a sports business writer!
Grateful for every moment and lesson learned at @newsobserver. On to the next chapter!
