“For several years I partnered closely with Rebecca as a go-to resource for understanding editorial workflows, newsroom priorities, and ultimately informing how to best improve our content management systems. Rebecca is sharp, empathetic, extremely friendly and approachable. She is open minded to compromises when it comes to developing "a valuable/feasible feature" vs "the pixel-perfect feature", always keeping what's best for the broader newsroom in mind first and foremost. As a Product Manager, she helped tremendously in bridging Product and Editorial at Business Insider seamless and effective. Collaborating with Rebecca is a fantastic experience!”

Projects

Red, White, and Gray

I oversaw the Politics team while they conceived of and executed this multi-story series revealing the costs of the United States being led by its oldest leaders ever. The project featured data analysis, graphics, video, and bespoke design.

Conflicted Congress

I oversaw the editor and reporter who conceived of and analyzed the data underlying the project, as well as edited several stories in the series. The project sparked a national conversation around the ethics of allowing members of Congress and their staff to trade stocks.

Jacob Blake profile
-
I commissioned a local freelance reporter to profile Jacob Blake, who was paralyzed from the waist down after a police officer shot him in Kenosha, Wisconsin. The writer and I spent several months conceiving of and shaping the story, and I coached her through challenging reporting. I'm proud of the complex story we told.
-
Just don't call it 'climate change'
-
I spent 6 months reporting and writing this story in 2017 as part of Business Insider's "Undividing America" series. I traveled to Earth Day Texas to interview sources on the ground and take photos. I worked with the graphics team to produce BI's first custom page with interactivity.
