Simone Cazares
Community Engagement Reporter
Hello! I’m the Community Engagement Reporter for MPR News. My job is to tell stories about cultural celebrations, traditions and community champions. Got a story you’d like to see covered in your community? An event I should add to my list? I'd love to hear them!
You can submit your event here. I’m also on Twitter at @SimoneCazares and you can always send me a note at scazares@mpr.org
