Award-winning journalist working at the intersection of visual storytelling, innovation and audience strategy.

Currently, I am the senior editor for visuals on The Washington Post's national desk, overseeing stories where visuals drive the narrative for breaking news and projects and identifying opportunities for format innovation and experimentation. Most recently, I was a Senior Projects Editor leading a team of five planning and projects editors responsible for The Post's most ambitious reporting, planned news events and investigations. We guided cross-functional teams from inception through launch — developing coverage and promotion plans, facilitating collaboration across departments and instilling audience insights throughout the coverage lifecycle.

I have experience leading teams and editing across a range of formats including podcasts; immersive visual projects; data-driven reporting; documentaries; and visual investigations. And additionally, I coordinate with cross-company stakeholders and external partners as well as lead analytically driven after-action reviews, documenting traffic insights, audience insights and lessons learned to scale best practices and inform future projects.

I joined The Washington Post in 2016 as a newsroom designer focused on developing reader experiences for web, print and distributed platforms. While on the design team, I helped to scale our custom, off-platform storytelling in Apple News and was part of a cross-departmental team that led research, front-end development and documentation for a React-based custom storytelling template to support immersive digital projects.

I have led and contributed to projects recognized by the Pulitzer Prizes, George Polk Awards, News and Documentary Emmys, Edward R. Murrow Awards, Online Journalism Awards, Overseas Press Club, White House Correspondents’ Association, Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Awards and Society for News Design. I was part of the team that won a Pulitzer Prize for explanatory reporting for the 2°C: Beyond the Limit series on climate change, the team that was a Pulitzer Prize finalist for public service journalism for an investigation into tracing the surge of fentanyl from Mexican labs to U.S. streets and the team that was a Pulitzer Prize finalist for public service journalism for an investigation of the opioid epidemic. And I was an editor on the Washington Post team that shared the Polk Award for Technology Reporting with the Forbidden Stories Network and Guardian U.S. for "The Pegasus Project," a collaborative investigation into military-grade spyware.

Prior to joining The Washington Post, I was a designer for The Arizona Republic in Gannett’s Design Studio and the editor of SND.org. I graduated from UCLA, where I studied communications and geography and led The Daily Bruin’s quarterly lifestyle magazine. I currently live in Washington, D.C., after spending more than 20 years in the Western U.S. in California, Arizona, Washington and Colorado.
