Professional Experience
As an award-winning, enterprising investigative reporter, I believe every good story starts with a good question. I'm constantly asking myself questions and questioning the narrative to move the story forward — or, to create stories nobody has covered. Through that, I've done everything from shattering the candidacy of a top-fundraising city council candidate, to influencing the conversation that led Congress to end federal funding for automatic license plate readers. I'm eager to contribute thought-provoking stories that move the conversation forward for your publication, too.
