Kimmie N E.
Researcher | Public Records, Policy, and Investigative Writing
I'm a researcher and writer working across public records research, policy analysis, investigative-style writing, and audience-focused content strategy. My records research experience includes drafting and tracking public records requests to institutions across multiple states as part of a confidential academic research engagement, requiring deep familiarity with state open records and open meetings laws (CPRA, RCW, CORA, GRAMA, and others). My writing background spans investigative-style articles, policy research and commentary, blog and long-form content, and social media strategy for advocacy and nonprofit audiences. I've supported nonprofit communications, managed outreach campaigns, and created digital content across platforms including Canva and social media. I hold a B.A. in Political Science from the University of Alaska Anchorage and an M.A. in Public Policy, and I'm currently a doctoral student in Public Policy. I'm detail-oriented, adaptable, and committed to clear, well-sourced, deadline-driven work — whether that's a records request, a research memo, or a piece of long-form journalism.
