As a founding member of DNAinfo New York, I was part of the team that launched the site in 2009 with a handful of readers and helped it grow into an award-winning newsroom with more than 3 million readers per month and two sites across NYC and Chicago.I oversaw a team of two dozen reporters and editors producing original news content under tight deadlines and created data interactives and news apps regularly picked up with attribution by local, national and international publications.
