Laura J. Nelson

I cover transportation at the Los Angeles Times. Read my most recent work here.

My degree and my love for California both come from my time at USC, where I studied French and journalism. As an undergraduate, I interned with The Boston Globe, the St. Petersburg Times and the Los Angeles Daily News.

When I’m not working, I enjoy baking, exploring Los Angeles on foot or on my bicycle, or reading in my hammock—one impulse purchase I’ve never regretted. If you’d like to talk shop or trade puns, reach out through Twitter or send me an email.
