Raquel Maria Dillon has worked on both sides of the country and on both sides of the mic. Previously, she followed Elon Musk's purchase of Twitter for NPR's Business Desk, anchored newscasts and reported on climate change for KQED, and chased breaking news for the Associated Press as a wire reporter and video journalist in the LA bureau. She also was an editor for KALW, a videographer for KTVU, a digital video producer for KNTV, and a reporter for the Santa Rosa Press Democrat. She grew up in the New Jersey suburbs and now calls Oakland home.
