About

I’m an exacting editor whose mission is to deliver polished journalism that informs and elevates readers but never speaks down to them. While advocating for the audience, I also strengthen the bedrock of the media outlets I represent, building trust and maintaining credibility.The arc of my career spans from copy editing intern to international news editor at The New York Times. In Oregon, New York and Paris, I’ve assigned reporters to breaking news and features, reconstructed and refined stories, applied solid news judgment to a wide range of coverage, and written engaging headlines and captions for print and digital readers. Whether as a supervisor or as part of a team, I’m a collaborator who stays focused and poised. My passion for detail –not only on an article’s broad framework but also the fine brushstrokes of grammar, punctuation and style – is unrelenting.
