Professional Experience

I’ve covered everything in Boston from the bureaucratic labyrinths preventing the construction of a $2.4 million skate park to the city’s police keeping tabs on peace activists. I’m comfortable with long form, blogging and hard news. Can write objectively. Can write with opinion and flair.
