Hello,
I’m an award-winning freelance journalist writing about politics and people.
I was a senior political reporter at HuffPost and the political writer for The (Toledo) Blade. I also have bylines in Columbia Journalism Review, Connecticut Post, Los Angeles Review of Books, New York Post, NOTUS and Politico Magazine.
