My team works on investigations into topics ranging from crumbling public school infrastructure to health insurers withholding information patients are entitled to by law. Sometimes, we put billboards on trucks, set up air monitors and post flyers in bodegas across America’s dairyland.
My Background
I joined ProPublica as an engagement reporter in 2016. Before becoming an editor, I did stories on technology companies and labor discrimination, including Facebook allowing employers to target job ads only to men, large-scale layoffs of older workers at IBM and misclassified customer service representatives struggling in the gig economy. This reporting contributed to three Gerald Loeb awards, two Edward R. Murrow awards, a SABEW Best in Business award and a Barlett & Steele bronze award.
Previously, I worked at The Guardian, American Public Media’s “Marketplace” and WNYC Studios. At WNYC, I helped launch the multiplatform “Bored and Brilliant” and “Infomagical” series, which analyzed information on nearly 30,000 participants’ smartphone habits. My work has appeared in outlets including The New Republic, The New York Times, the St. Louis Beacon and Bustle. I studied on a Fulbright grant in Minsk, Belarus, and led training for the Balkan Investigative Reporting Network’s Engaged Citizens Reporting program.
