Journo moves back with her dad

Rachel Uranga left the Daily News last year and now, in her 30s, has left Echo Park to move back in with her father. She writes about it in a guest gig for CurbedLA, including the pitfalls and tips for others who may have to consider going back in with the parents.

THERE IS AN UPSIDE: My ever so gracious father encourages me to invite friends over and relax in my home. Somehow it just never happens. I shut down the idea as soon as I imagine my guests laughing, eating, toasting the weekend and yes, keeping my father from sleeping. So, I relax: In the meantime, I get to chill in Dad’s outdoor jacuzzi, save boatloads of money and get to know him a little better.

Uranga had gone to work for the ACLU; it's not listed in her credit at Curbed so I don't know where that stands. She had to give up the presidency of the California Chicano News Media Association chapter here when she left journalism.
