Who are you?

A mostly stay-at-home-mother of three, part-time bookkeeper, Public Information Act appreciator, and (apparently) investigative financial reporter.

Who drew the logo?

I did. Charlotte Mason said “We know that the human hand is a wonderful and exquisite instrument to be used in a hundred movements exacting delicacy, direction and force; every such movement is a cause of joy as it leads to the pleasure of execution and the triumph of success.” The logo may change as I improve at drawing.

Why did you start this project?

I believe in financial transparency and accountability, and that sunshine is the best disinfectant. I am to shed light on financial management affecting Hyattsville and Prince George’s County residents.

Where else can I find your writing?

I’ve previously published several articles at the Hyattsville Life & Times on local finance and development.

Can I republish your reporting?

Please contact me at route1finance@gmail.com if you’d like to republish an article.
