Hi! I edit stories local reporters file for NPR from across the country. I originally joined NPR to edit the NPR Politics Podcast. Before that, 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 my work has appeared in a wide range of national and local media, from NPR to CNN.com to The Post and Courier. I especially love mining data for stories. My reporting has won more than a dozen awards, including two national Edward R. Murrow awards. It has inspired changes to state law and led to an FBI investigation and other criminal probes.
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, our daughter and our dog, Bueller, named for the iconic John Hughes character.
