Professional Experience

I am a seasoned Web writer, blogger, editor, and Web producer, having worked at The Washington Post, The Fiscal Times, and Government Executive Magazine. I've published news, feature, blog, op-ed, and interactive graphic content for the Post's newspaper and Web channels, covering the 2008 presidential election, the Ted Stevens corruption trial, the nomination of supreme court justice Sonia Sotomayor, with research work on the Pulitzer Prize-nominated series Careless Detention. In addition to my work in political, financial, and business journalism, I've written extensively about cybersecurity, sports, journalism, food, culture, and humanitarian service. I once developed new media courses for Georgetown University's J school grad program as an adjunct professor. And, lastly, I have strategy and content management experience with global nonprofits, and fortune 500 companies.
