Mav Rodriguez is the pen name of a freelance news writer at Key Media, where she reports on education, insurance, mortgage, finance, and business developments.

Her coverage spans executive moves, market shifts, regulatory developments, industry reports, and company announcements across various industries worldwide. She brings a strong background in research, editorial judgment, and SEO, producing clear and useful stories for specialist audiences.

Before focusing on trade journalism, Mav wrote across news and culture, guided by a longstanding interest in helping readers understand the issues that affect them. That focus on informing readers remains central to her work.

How I think about writing for this industry…

“Education reporting is especially interesting because the sector is constantly being asked to solve broader social problems with limited time, funding, and staff. That makes it important to look closely at whether new initiatives are realistic, not just well-intentioned”
