I cover members of Congress across a wide range of domestic, economic, political and foreign policy issues and report on how decisions made in both the Senate and the House impact lives far beyond Washington.
As an audio producer, I have worked on several Times podcasts, including “The Headlines,” “The Daily,” “The Field” and “The Latest.”
My Background
I joined The Times in 2020 after covering politics for NPR member station Georgia Public Broadcasting, where I reported on Donald Trump’s first impeachment and the Democratic presidential primary across the Southeast. I previously covered health and produced international news for CNN.
I graduated with a degree in political science from Georgia State University. I grew up in Macon, Ga.
Journalistic Ethics
Across all mediums it is my aim to provide accurate, fair and open-minded reporting. As a Times journalist, I share the values and adhere to the standards of integrity outlined in The Times’s Ethical Journalism Handbook, which means I don’t donate to politicians nor do I participate in political campaigns or causes, such as petitions and rallies.
