Teen parents face stiff odds when it comes to finishing school. Peers and school administrators alike often times see them as lost causes. But reporter Rebecca Plevin finds a rare success story about a young California couple determined to make it through school, support their daughter and stay together in the process.

Rebecca Plevin is a Health Reporter at KPCC. Prior to working at KPCC, Rebecca spent five years covering health news in California’s Central Valley, first for the bilingual paper “Vida en el Valle,” and then for Fresno-based Valley Public Radio. She has been a lead reporter on The Reporting on Health Collaborative’s groundbreaking series of stories about Valley Fever. State officials decided to relocate thousands of inmates from state prisons in the Central Valley following Rebecca’s reporting on Valley Fever’s impact on the incarcerated.
