experience

2024 - Current

Special projects editor, Bloomberg Opinion

I do a little bit of a lot here: edit data projects, script videos, brainstorm headlines, and review social copy for various platforms. I've even written a newsletter or two.

2016 - 2023

Senior editor, VICE News

After being promoted from news editor in 2019, I planned, assigned, and edited news, features, and videos on criminal justice, extremism, drugs, and environment. I'm especially proud that our coverage of so-called "gas station heroin" won a New York Press Club award.

2015 - 2016

Weekend editor, Business Insider

In this role, I implemented a strategy to publish 8-10 enterprise and feature stories for the top of the homepage every weekend, which increased traffic by 25%.

2013 - 2015

Reporter, Business Insider

I started my career covering policing, the death penalty, and the Supreme Court. I also still get emails from a personal essay I wrote about having sleep paralysis.
