I found journalism through music because I wanted to be a music critic in high school. Two years on staff at USF St. Petersburg’s campus newspaper re-routed me and I discovered features and public radio. I joined the Times as a web fellow in May. When I’m out of the office, you can find me with my earbuds in, usually listening to a new album or a culture podcast. And probably in a coffee shop around beautiful St. Pete.

  7. St. Petersburg is losing murals to construction. They’re always temporary, artists and officials say.
    Sep. 12• Visual Arts
    St. Petersburg based Ink Werkz Crew created this mural at 1610 Central Avenue for the first SHINE mural festival. Painted in late 2015, a Chase Bank branch was built on the parking lot in front of it in 2018. The artists Reid Jenkins, Scott Hillis and Sovoth Chan were never told that it would be covered. Jenkins found out from his then five-year-old daughter.
    As the city grows and empty lots become fewer, murals of the recent past risk being hidden from view.
