What I Do

I cover the changing fortunes of the office, housing, and retail sector in Philadelphia. I focus on new development, and I'm also interested in how public policy affects the real estate industry.

My Background

Before working at The Inquirer, I worked for WHYY, the New Statesman, and Governing magazine. I also freelanced in Philadelphia for years, working with publications like Slate, CityLab, Next City, Vice, and Philly Mag.

I am from Prince George's County, Md. I'm a graduate of Guilford College, and I live in South Philadelphia.
