Long overdue post: After 6+ years covering Colorado news, I’m moving to New Orleans with my partner in crime.

I’m grateful for my time covering Colorado news with the people at @CPRNews and @KUNC

Currently happily eating King Cake and looking for my next journo adventure.

I spoke with #kaiserstrike workers on the picket line in Denver today. Many feel burnt out and aren't happy with pay after years of overwork.

Meanwhile Kaiser says it's trying to put the best offer forward it can.

Feels like a stalemate.
