I'm a journalist currently working as the Managing Editor at the Community Advocate. 

I'm experienced in both print and digital reporting, with particular familiarity covering breaking news, features and government beat reporting stories in Central Massachusetts. 

I've been published in the Community Advocate, the Hopkinton Independent, the Fifty Plus Advocate, the Let Grow Blog, the Worcester Telegram, the Lowell Spin, BeLocal MetroWest, Five By Two Records, and DigBoston. 

I also launched the Substantive newsletter covering addiction in Boston from an individualized, community perspective. I broke major stories about police actions on drugs. And I worked consistently with a concern for the privacy, dignity and humanity of the individuals I covered.

I approach news with an appreciation for multimedia elements, valuing written reporting, photography and data visualization as tools for audience engagement.

I'm passionate about audience engagement and am particularly proud to have been able to help massively expand the reach of the Community Advocate's web content in my role as Managing Editor.
​
I see news publications as a central part any community, no matter the size. The stories we tell have meaning. The work I get to do as a journalist gives me purpose.
