I edit the NPR Politics Podcast. Before joining NPR, I spent nearly a decade at WYPR, Baltimore’s public radio station, where I covered Maryland state politics and government, as well as a wide range of other semi-related topics.
I have worked across different types of media, and I especially love mining data for stories. My reporting has won more than a dozen awards, including two national Edward R. Murrow awards, and led to an FBI investigation and other criminal probes.
My work has appeared on NPR, on CNN.com, on NBCNews.com, in Slate, in The Huffington Post, in Time, in The Post and Courier and in Washington City Paper.
I grew up in the suburbs of Atlanta and went to college at the University of Pennsylvania, where I led The Daily Pennsylvanian. I received my master’s in journalism at American University.
I live in Baltimore with my husband, daughter and two dogs — Brooks, named for the late Orioles great Brooks Robinson, and Bueller, named for the iconic John Hughes character.
