Bobby Brier

Before enrolling in the AJO program, Bobby was a full-time law school student. When the pandemic hit in March 2020, he realized his true passion for writing and reporting and decided to pursue a career in journalism. While a student, he interned with New Mexico In Depth and won a Society of Professional Journalists Top of the Rockies Award for his political coverage of the Albuquerque mayor’s race. For four years he was a Report for America Corps member, working as a multimedia reporter for NJ Spotlight News covering mental health issues, especially affecting rural communities. He is currently working for the Pennsylvania Court System as a Behavioral Health Administrator.

I would not have been a corps member without the support and guidance of my professors and fellow students in the AJO program.”
