What I Do

I cover breaking news and write general assignment stories. I'm interested in Philly's unique culture, fascinating characters and communities, and challenges faced by workers in the 21st century.

My Background

Before joining The Inquirer, I covered local news for the Washington Post. I wrote about farmers, astronauts, musicians, and people who like to dress up as mermaids and swim together. Prior to that I covered breaking news in Baltimore for the Baltimore Sun.

I got my bachelor's degree in journalism and theater from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and my master's in journalism and public affairs from American University in Washington. I'm a native of the Chicagoland area and fear that I'm wholly unprepared for the intensity of sports fans here.
