My name is Angela and I'm an early career journalist originally from Mumbai, India. I study political science at the University of Notre Dame and will graduate in the spring of 2025.

During a gap year interning with The Dallas Morning News' editorial board, I realized that I love reporting on how cities grow. I became a public transportation nerd and grew fascinated by the emotional and political fights surrounding new housing and development.

I enjoyed writing editorials on education policy and state politics as well. I relished understanding the ideological contours of Texas and sifting through campaign finance reports to understand the constellation of donors that influence the state.

Interning for the South Bend Tribune, the newspaper in my college town, I saw how the politics of development plays out in a Midwestern, Rust Belt town experiencing population decline rather than the explosive growth of Texas.

Along the way I've also written about arts and culture for Mint Lounge. You can find some samples of my work by looking through the tabs on the left. Thanks for reading!
