From Pittsburgh to New York City to London, my journalism career to date...
Journalist & Editor
I'm currently a data journalist and editor at Bloomberg News in New York, having worked as an editor for Bloomberg Graphics, contributor to Bloomberg Businessweek magazine, and previously as an economic data editor in charge of economist surveys in London. Before joining Bloomberg, I worked at New York magazine and had been published in The Huffington Post, Religion Dispatches, and the then-New York Times' Local East Village blog, among other outlets both print and digital.

I completed my undergraduate studies in economics and creative writing at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA, where I was awarded Best Senior Economics Honors Thesis for my analysis of charter school proximity effects. I also completed the year-long General Course at the London School of Economics and Political Science, during which time I completed a work experience (aka an internship) at the BBC World Service. After graduating in 2009, I went on to get an M.A. in Magazine Writing at New York University's Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute.
In 2011, I received a Knight Grant for Reporting on Religion and American Public Life, which generously funded a year-long reporting project on the Brazilian Pentecostal community living and worshipping in Queens, where I now live. The resulting published stories can be seen here.
