About

I write about vulnerable populations, disparities, ethical violations, and corruption. At the Connecticut Mirror, I co-authored a four-part series on gaps in the state's elder care system that prompted broad changes in nursing home and home care policy. I’ve also covered lapses in long-term care facilities, investigated the impact of cyberattacks on hospitals, and uncovered the questionable dealings of health ministry groups that masquerade as insurance. This reporting sparked reforms in health care and government oversight, helped erase medical debt for Connecticut residents, and led to the indictments of developers in a major state project.
