I have profiled congressional leaders, investigated federal spending, and played a key role in the paper’s coverage of the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. I documented the trauma faced by Capitol Police officers in a cover story for The New York Times Magazine, and led the paper’s coverage of the House committee’s wide-ranging investigation into the attack.
My Background
Before The Times, I worked for nearly a decade at The Baltimore Sun, where I covered the Maryland State House and Baltimore City Hall. I broke stories about a self-dealing scandal at the state’s largest hospital system that resulted in the resignation of Baltimore’s mayor and top hospital officials and the passage of sweeping reform legislation. That series of investigative articles won the 2020 Pulitzer Prize for local reporting and a George Polk Award for political reporting.
I graduated with a degree in writing and a minor in history from Ithaca College, where I was on the wrestling team.
Journalistic Ethics
I try my best to be accurate and fair-minded. If I make a mistake, I correct it as quickly as possible. I don’t make donations to politicians or participate in political rallies. As a Times journalist, I share the values and adhere to the standards of integrity outlined in The Times’s Ethical Journalism handbook.
