Jaelyn Rodriguez

Originally from a border town in Texas, I grew up with firsthand knowledge of how institutions affect communities and people's everyday lives. I'm passionate about relaying that news and platforming the stories of people who wish to share them.

A recent graduate of The University of Texas at Austin, I have reported for the school’s newspaper, as well as the San Diego Union-Tribune, The American Prospect, Austin’s NBC affiliate, KXAN, and Courthouse News Service, where my work has focused on local government, public records, policy, and investigative journalism.
