What I Do
I assign and edit coverage of a broad range of topics, including admissions, faculty, finance, teaching, the college-to-career transition, and the academic workplace, among others. I sometimes edit daily-news stories and newsletters, but more often help reporters produce longer-developing analytical pieces, data stories, features, investigations, narratives, and reports.
My Background
I joined The Chronicle in 2011 as a reporter covering teaching and learning. Before that, I worked as a reporter at Inside Higher Ed and the Pocono Record, in northeast Pennsylvania. My work has also appeared in The New York Times and Newsweek, among other publications. I earned a bachelor’s degree in English from the University of Wisconsin at Madison and a master’s from the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism.
