During her time with the organization, her reporting highlighted the exploitation of Oregon's immigrant reforestation workers , environmental impacts of Oregon's timber industry , the treatment of state prisoners , the experience of a man dealing with trauma from a lifetime spent behind bars as he neared his death , the impacts of punitive fines and fees , and it stopped Multnomah County from ending in-person visitation at its jails. She blueprinted Portland Street Response , a program the city funded 15 months after her initial report, and is also co-host of the "Walled In" podcast.
