Kasia recently graduated from the University of Missouri with her master’s degree in journalism, emphasizing in investigative reporting. She covered the Mizzou campus protests while working at a projects reporter for the Columbia Missourian, and she’s also worked for Inside Higher Ed, the American Press Institute, Investigative Reporters and Editors and the Kansas City Star. She graduated in 2013 from William Jewell College, where she studied English literature and critical theory. She grew up in Missouri, Hungary and Poland – the countries from where her parents immigrated. She loves Twitter to a fault (@kasiakovacs). And last but not least, her name is pronounced Ka-sha Ko-vach, but she won’t be mad if you get it wrong on the first try.
