What I Do

As the Senior Director for Digital at The Chronicle, I work with reporters, editors, developers, and others to produce our website and our editorial newsletters.

My Background

Before I joined The Chronicle in 2012 as the Senior Editor for Interactives, I worked for a variety of news organizations including USA Today, Knight-Ridder/Tribune, Space News, and The Journal newspapers. I earned a bacehlor’s degree from the University of Richmond and a master’s degree from American University.
