SB: Lyanne A. Guarecuco joins QR for the very special special session and more
Lyanne brings a passion and expertise in immigration issues to QR, which could not be better-timed for this moment in Texas politics
Whenever you’ll be seeing a new face in the halls of
the Texas
Capitol representing Quorum Report, we’ve made it our
custom at Buzz Central to give readers a heads up about who exactly will
be interacting with you about the issues facing lawmakers, staffers, the lobby
and the rest of the political class in Austin.
Lyanne A. Guarecuco starts
writing for us today and will be with us through the most special of special
sessions coming up in July – that’s if Gov. Greg Abbott gets the proclamation done in time.
Lyanne
is a graduate from St. Edward’s University where she earned a Bachelor of Arts
degree in Communication with a focus in Media and Broadcast Journalism and a
minor in Journalism. Prior to joining QR, she covered the 85th Texas Legislative Session
for the Texas Observer, reporting primarily on immigration and women’s
health. She was also an editorial intern there in the summer of 2015.
During her time at St. Edward’s, she was the online
Editor in Chief of the campus newspaper, Hilltop Views. Before becoming
engulfed in Texas politics, Lyanne worked in social
media marketing at a local startup and as a freelance English-Spanish
translator.
Lyanne
was born and raised in Laredo, where she grew up minutes from the
Mexican-American border.
