My CV

I’ve held a variety of professional writing positions in journalism, where I’ve been responsible for breaking news, uncovering wrongdoing and telling people’s stories.

This work has involved filing large numbers of public records requests, identifying and analyzing data, interviewing everyone from federal officials in Washington, D.C. to a rancher in New Mexico and writing quick and in-depth articles.

I worked as a staff writer for the Center for Public Integrity, Bloomberg BNA (now known as Bloomberg Industry Group) and The Hill newspaper.

I’m based in San Francisco, but available to travel for certain assignments.
