About
I am a proven news-breaker with the experience, sources and writing and investigative skills to take readers behind the scenes or guide them floating 10,000 feet above a story. Though I've worked mostly in political journalism, I have the versatility to write quick, breaking news hits or go long for deeply reported stories and profiles on a range of topics. I can deliver news on several multimedia formats, including print, audio and video.
