Biography
I work with editors and reporters at The Hill to help lift our journalism through listening, coaching and editing. Previously, I managed breaking news and planning for USA TODAY's Washington Bureau, identifying coverage opportunities based on trends. In 2020, amid a pandemic and a presidential election, I was a founding co-editor USA TODAY's Fact-Check Team. With experience at community dailies and major metros, I've lived and driven the transformation to digital first, helping guide change in a newsroom and a community. As a people manager, I have led a newsroom through both triumph and tough transitions.
