What I Do
As a Deputy Managing Editor, I direct a team of editors and reporters who provide expert analysis of news and trends in higher ed, stories that capture the lived experience of people in the sector, and solutions journalism that empowers them and their institutions.
My Background
I’ve held various roles at The Chronicle, including as an editor of commentaries, features, and research coverage. Before my career here, I worked as an acquisitions editor at Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, covered environmental policy as a reporter, and taught English in public schools in Iwata, Japan. I earned my bachelor’s degree from Swarthmore College and a master’s degree in English from the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor.
