About

Washington, D.C. political correspondent for Nexstar Media Group covering Capitol Hill, the White House and the federal government. I am a clear, concise, and detail-oriented communicator with more than fifteen years of media, reporting, and communications experience. I understand the importance of time management, stress management under pressure, and maintaining a clear vision towards specific deliverables. My experience has honed my abilities to craft strategic and insightful communications strategies aimed at diverse audiences. Additionally, I have the skills needed to maximize a principal's media exposure while avoiding potential reputational and messaging pitfalls that can happen while working with journalists. As a Washington journalist, I bring a deep understanding of the political media landscape, an extensive network of media and government contacts, and a keen awareness of the workings of Congress and public policy. I also understand the power of emotional storytelling and its ability to impact public perception. My fifteen years of experience on-camera have also made me an effective public-facing communicator that thrives on building relationships and getting people to share their stories.
