What I Do

I’m a senior editor at ProPublica, working with reporters covering reproductive rights, health care and other topics.

My Background

I spent more than two decades as a reporter and editor in Oklahoma, including founding The Frontier, a startup newsroom in Tulsa. I also worked as an editor at Reveal and as corporate accountability editor at The Washington Post before joining ProPublica in March 2022.

Investigations I’ve edited and supervised during my career have won national awards including three George Polk Awards, two Scripps Howard awards and two Overseas Press Club awards. In 2015, I was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in local reporting for a project I led and co-reported about Oklahoma’s flawed death penalty process.
