Abbott wants Texas Education Agency to check if Northside ISD pressured employees to vote
Danya Perez joined the Express-News education team in January 2021. Before moving to San Antonio, she worked as digital producer focusing mostly on newsletters at the Houston Chronicle for two years, and as an education reporter at The Monitor in McAllen, Texas, for more than four years.
Danya is originally from Mexico and was raised in the border city of El Paso, where she became the first in her family to graduate with a college degree from the University of Texas at El Paso. Before graduating, she began her journalism career as reporter and later city editor of Borderzine.com, and moved on to intern at the Scripps Howard Foundation Wire, the St. Paul Pioneer Press, The New York Times and The Chronicle of Higher Education.
Having spent most of her life in Texas, Danya considers the Lone Star State her home, with Mexico remaining an important part of her life. She is bilingual, as Spanish is the main language spoken by her family.
