Claim your profileI am a highly energetic, fearless journalist with extensive experience reporting on and analyzing the myriad issues that arise on the White House and Capitol Hill beats. If it has happened in Washington, I have written about it. Whether it is breaking news or crafting conceptual scoops, I have built a reputation for punching above my weight and helping the publications I’ve written for stand out from the crowd when it matters. My Washington experience spans the Bush, Obama and Trump administrations, and I am a known quantity to staffers across Capitol Hill and the current administration, making me a turnkey solution for anyone looking to bring a driven, “can’t stop, won’t stop” approach to covering Washington. Editors I’ve worked with have often praised my “workaholism,” strong instincts, self-starting attitude and penchant for clean copy, while colleagues, sources, decision-makers, and their aides have frequently marveled at my deep well of knowledge spanning a multitude of topics and my elephant’s memory for details. Some White House officials, however, have undoubtedly cursed me for my ability to remain unflappable in the face of insults, pivots and deflections, and my persistence in asking tough and often politically inconvenient questions. My exchanges with executive and legislative branch officials at briefings and press availabilities frequently prompt newsworthy responses.
