Adam Yahya Rayes

Adam is Indiana Public Broadcasting's labor and employment reporter. He was born and raised in southeast Michigan, where he got his first job as a sandwich artist at Subway in high school. After graduating from Western Michigan University in 2019, he joined Michigan Radio's Stateside show as a production assistant. He then became the rural and small communities reporter at KUNC in Northern Colorado.

In Indiana, he aims to give workers a platform to make themselves heard and recognized as the backbone of the systems that keep Indiana running. He hopes to help Indiana Public Broadcasting create fuller, more equitable coverage by highlighting those voices in important statewide conversations.
