My name is Paige Gerling and I am a senior at the University of Missouri studying journalism and political science. I have worked at The Maneater, the student newspaper of MU, as a sports reporter and news reporter. More recently, I have reporting experience at the Missouri Business Alert and the Columbia Missourian. I also do research at MU’s Watchdog Writers Group, a program for student investigative reporters, and work as a tutor at the Writing Center on campus.

I am deeply interested in investigative reporting, but have experience on various beats, from business to local government. I also love working with data and analyzing databases to reveal undiscovered and unique stories.
