What I Cover
I write investigative stories that illuminate the actions of powerful institutions and people. Currently I am examining how the Trump administration is transforming the spending and programs of the U.S. military and its sprawling bureaucracy at the Pentagon. I am rigorously committed to fairness and accuracy, and I always strive to serve the public interest in my work.
My Background
Since joining ProPublica in 2024, I have reported on a sweeping rollback of transportation safety standards, the destruction of programs that fought housing discrimination and a secret plan to write federal regulations with artificial intelligence.
Previously I was an investigative reporter at Streetsblog, a small nonprofit newsroom, where my series on the black market for temporary license plates led to enacted or proposed laws in three states as well as civil penalties and criminal investigations. Before that, I was a reporter at Newsday, where my stories on misconduct in New York local governments spurred investigations and reforms.
My reporting has received a George Polk Award, an IRE Award, a Sidney Award, a Deadline Club Award and other distinctions. I was also a finalist for the Goldsmith Prize for Investigative Reporting.
