As a business reporter, I write about small businesses opening and closing, manufacturing, food and drink, labor issues and economic data. I particularly love writing about the impact of state and federal policy on local businesses. I also do some education reporting, covering colleges in southeastern Connecticut and regional K-12 issues.

Jesus Garza-Noriega and Marianna Globacheva share international roots and the same important reasons for continuing their education as returning adult students: family and community.
Garza-Noriega, 27, will graduate in December with a bachelor’s degree in rehabilitation psychology and special education so he can support his family and honor his parents, who migrated from Mexico to Madison to provide their children with opportunities they never had. He’s intent on using his degree to serve young students of color.
Globacheva (pictured above with one of her five children), 42, is in her last semester of study for a bachelor’s degree in nursing. An ethnic minority and immigrant from Russia, she moved to Madison to pursue an education that would help support her family of seven. Her dream is to get a graduate degree and become a midwife for vulnerable women.
