👋 Meet Claire, our new reporter

• I have a long history of reporting in San Diego, beginning at a breaking news wire service.
• I also was an investigative reporter at KPBS and then launched and led its Public Matters initiative.
• I've also written freelance stories on hiking and running for Runner's World, Outside and San Diego Magazine.

🏡 I live in Allied Gardens, where you can spot me walking my dog Kima, hiking in Mission Trails, or grabbing dinner and frozen yogurt with my family at San Diego Brewing Company and Yog-art.

🏃‍♀️ Favorite San Diego things:

• The 12-mile loop around Mission Bay.
• Hiking every inch of every trail in Mission Trails with my son.
• People watching at Stone Brewing in Liberty Station.
• The path around Chollas Lake, the ocean views from Calumet Park, standing on the Quivira Jetty and watching dogs play at Dog Beach, Yogurt Mill and/or Rockie's (can't decide which).
• Oh yeah, and strong local journalism.
