About

I’m an experienced editor who cares deeply about accuracy, deadlines, and well-crafted copy, as well as the professional growth of the reporters I lead.I have more than five years of editorial experience workshopping stories, editing copy, assuring accuracy, mentoring reporters, managing multiple projects simultaneously, and producing award-winning page design for print and online publication in a highly collaborative, deadline-oriented newsroom. Before that, I spent 15 years as a reporter covering breaking news, politics, economic development, finance, banking regulations, and enterprise investigations.I understand that a good editor serves as the essential conduit linking writers, upper management, and the production/design team throughout the editorial process. I have the skills to troubleshoot issues laterally when possible, the tact to escalate matters when necessary, and the judgement to know which path to take in high-pressure situations.
