Professional/Personal Overview
If you want it covered, I can cover it... mixing it up as a freelancer after more than 7 years editing/reporting on the wild world of defense (from industry to policy to Pentagon budgeting and operations). Now I'm getting back to my policy/politics roots with the Council on Foreign Relations' campaign coverage; expanding my horizons with food, camping and travel writing; and looking to expanding my horizons and tell great stories for new publications.
