    As a freelance journalist, my work regularly appears all over the country. My byline has been in the Chicago Tribune, where I was a staff writer for 10 years, as well as The New York Times, Chicago magazine and U.S. News. My never-ending well of ideas means that I am always brainstorming, and I regularly pitch and report stories for a variety of publications.

Profiles are my most common assignment, but I also love a meaty feature.
  • Chicago Tribune

    Chicago Tribune 2015 - Sep 2022
    As a senior reporter, I helped lead the Living team of the Chicago Tribune to be one of the most-read departments. With weekly ideation meetings, we crafted stories resonating with audiences from real estate to health and business. We helped guide the public with our COVID coverage, and I specifically focused my work on the human story of health care workers reporting to duty for years in a constantly changing pandemic. My Tribune reporting garnered fellowship awards and honors, including as a Livingston finalist for a series that prompted legislation requiring nurses to receive rape-kit training.

As interim editor, I was in charge of a small team covering a huge range of topics in New York City. My reporting included coverage of Hurricane Sandy and political events. I wrote stories on a daily basis, finding out what my assignment would be in the morning and filing it with expert reporting and sourcing by the afternoon.
