I am a business journalist who specializes in writing about personal finance and money issues. As a senior editor at Consumer Reports, I focused on the financial challenges of paying for college, managing higher education debt and the steep cost healthcare. Prior to Consumer Reports, I worked at MONEY magazine and Money.com, wrote for the New York Times, Smart Money and was a business reporter at USA Today covering the airline industry, business travel and financial markets.My goal is to write about complex subjects in an engaging way and I often tell stories through real people experiences. I'm a strong believer in financial education and through my journalism and volunteer work, I want to help people take control of their finances so they can enjoy the other parts of their life.
