Not enough data
Kaisha Young's coverage suggests a strong focus on national issues in the United States, particularly concerning government and politics, world affairs, healthcare and pharmaceuticals. She appears to be drawn to evolving stories backed by data or government announcements.
Given her interest in healthcare access and rural communities, Kaisha may respond well to pitches centered around these topics within the U.S., especially if they involve government policies or have a strong human-interest angle. Pitches could include insights into how specific policies are impacting healthcare access in rural areas or updates on initiatives aimed at improving medical care for underserved populations.
For international stories, it would be beneficial to connect them with their implications for U.S. policy or involvement. When reaching out with news regarding global events such as conflicts or humanitarian crises, framing it within the context of its impact on U.S. foreign policy might increase appeal for Kaisha's coverage interests.
