Hi, I’m Heather Finch.

I’m a journalist based in Washtenaw County in southeast Michigan, where I cover local news, community stories and the people who shape them. Through my reporting, I’m especially interested in the everyday moments, public meetings, local decisions and human stories that help a community understand itself.

I’m also a prolific reader, a former pastry chef and a mom of four, all of which shape how I move through the world and the kinds of stories I’m drawn to. I care about clarity, curiosity and making information feel accessible to readers.

Read, Write, Finch is a space for my journalism work, class projects and writing practice as I continue growing as a reporter.

Thanks for reading.
