I report on a variety of topics affecting people in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. I’ve driven upstate to cover severe flooding, written about a fatal cargo ship fire in Newark, and spent the day with adoptable cats and dogs while reporting on overcrowding at New York City animal shelters.
Before coming to The Times, I was an investigative reporter for the Times Herald-Record in the Hudson Valley. In that role, I wrote about a family’s attempts to learn why their father was fatally shot by police, how New York’s elderly and disabled residents are affected by a home-care worker shortage, and how 20th century urban renewal policies continue to affect upstate communities. Before moving to New York, I covered the North Shore of Massachusetts for The Salem News and southern New Hampshire for the Eagle-Tribune.
Over the years, I’ve covered national elections, evangelical megachurches, gentrification, environmental issues, social justice movements and more.
It is always my goal to tell stories in a clear, respectful, and unbiased way. I strive to be fair and accurate, and like all Times journalists, I adhere to the policies laid out in our Ethical Journalism Handbook.
