Araceli Crescencio has been hired by the Nashville Banner to cover immigration and business.

Crescencio writes, “At the Banner, I’ll cover immigration and business, making complex economic forces understandable. I want to unmask false promises from those in power and highlight the people who’ve built this city from the margins.

“My reporting has appeared in NewsChannel 5, CNBC, ForbesInc. MagazineNashville Noticias and here, in the Banner. I’ve covered immigration cases that made national headlines, housing challenges reshaping neighborhoods, and the policies that determine who gets to stay and build a life here. I also hold a master’s degree in Business and Economic Reporting from NYU, where I trained in data analysis and investigative techniques to help tell stories that often go unheard.

“Every day, doing this work feels like a gift, one that my younger self never thought possible.”
