About Me

I'm a journalist based in the Washington, D.C. area, where I have built my career for the past 15 years.

I'm currently the team lead for outside commentary and analysis at Bloomberg Industry Group, managing a group of editors who handle news analysis and commentary pieces from outside authors for Bloomberg Law, Tax and Government audiences.

Previously, I was the senior campaign editor at CNN, running digital coverage of the 2020, 2022 and 2024 election cycles and other related beats. Additionally, I worked as a politics editor at USA TODAY, overseeing breaking and trending news coverage during the first Trump administration. I also was a reporter on the White House team, managed the organization’s politics blog and newsletter, and worked as an editor on the digital and copy desks. I covered Congress and the federal government for E&E News and Roll Call, and I served as a senior producer at National Geographic, where I helped relaunch the organization’s home page.

I have been an active volunteer in the journalism community since college. I led the Washington, D.C., chapter of the Online News Association for several years, putting together monthly events and organizing “unconference” programming for the association’s annual gathering. 

I hail from the great state of Nevada and am a proud graduate of the Reynolds School of Journalism at the University of Nevada, Reno. I cut my teeth working for The Nevada Sagebrush, the Reno Gazette-Journal, Greenspun Media Group and Insight Magazine.

I completed the Paul Miller Fellowship with the National Press Foundation, and I've done other leadership workshops with different organizations.

Outside of journalism, I serve on the board of and perform with Washington Revels, a nonprofit performing arts organization. I also sing with the Capitol Hill Chorale and can often be found knitting, baking and playing with my dog. After years of living on the Hill, I debunked to the suburbs and now reside with my family in Northern Virginia.
