About

I'm an experienced senior news editor with a long history in financial journalism. I edit stories and oversee distribution and new platforms for Yahoo Finance's personal finance coverage to help readers better understand what the news means for their money. I have a strong grasp of journalism ethics and experience enforcing standards, workflows, and best practices; I’ve also worked with other teams, such as product, graphics, and engineering, on major company initiatives.Over the years, I've been a homepage editor, assignment editor, copy editor, and reporter for newspapers, magazines, and online news publishers. I've got sharp editing and reporting skills, strong news judgment, management experience, and a solid grounding in principles of audience development and engagement: SEO, social media, newsletters, events, and promotions, as well as years of experience using insight from data and analytics to get the right stories to readers.
