I am an award-winning editor driven by the challenge of finding the most engaging and memorable ways to tell complex stories.

I have nearly two decades of experience editing, creating and managing visual- and data-first stories, investigations and experiments with story format. Most recently I was the Senior Editor for Visuals on The Washington Post’s national desk, overseeing visually-driven breaking news and enterprise projects. Before that, I was a Senior Projects Editor leading a team of five planning and projects editors responsible for The Post's most ambitious reporting, including investigations, major news events and long-term projects.

From ideation to publication, I focus on what best serves the story and the audience while exploring opportunities to experiment with story format and presentation.

I have managed large, cross-functional teams of reporters, data editors and visual journalists on major investigations, projects and breaking news. My editing experience includes a range of story formats including podcasts, immersive visual projects, data-driven reporting, documentaries, visual investigations, news explainers and traditional stories. As a senior newsroom leader, I have also developed coverage plans for breaking news, complex topics and lines of coverage, planned news events and major projects and investigations.

My work has directly contributed to projects with editorial impact, audience growth and recognition 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 began my journalism career as a news and interactive designer for The Washington Post and The Arizona Republic and Gannett’s Design Studio. I graduated from UCLA, where I studied communications and geography and led The Daily Bruin’s quarterly lifestyle magazine.
