Jaclyn Cosgrove, a journalist covering the outdoors for the Los Angeles Times, recently shared their passion for nature and adventure. Having joined The Times in 2017, Cosgrove has delved into various topics including wildfires, culture, protests, crime, and county government. In 2022, they spearheaded For Your Mind, a yearlong mental health initiative. Originally from rural Oklahoma and a graduate of Oklahoma State University, Cosgrove fell in love with Southern California upon moving there in 2017. Always on the lookout for the next exciting journey, they are open to new ideas and experiences. If you happen to call and reach their voicemail, chances are they’re out exploring the mountains with their beloved dog, Maggie May.
