I started an investigation into a companyIn my spare time, I started an investigation into a publicly traded company called Care.com, an online babysitting platform. I started my newsletter to get employers' attentionAfter the Care.com story, I decided to start a free newsletter in February 2020, when I was a senior, as a way to get attention from employers.

"I don't want all my eggs in one basket," she told Insider.
