Experience

Over the course of my career, I have written or edited thousands of articles and seen hundreds of thousands of my words published online and in print. I have broken news which impacted the communities I’m part of and report on, and been picked up by local, state, and international outlets.  My work has been cited by lawmakers, in academic papers and international entities.
