I've been an editor since 1996, as long as I've been a reporter and writer.

​

Currently I'm the investigations editor of The California Newsroom, a collaborative of public radio newsrooms throughout the state, with NPR as its national partner.

From 2019 to 2021, I served as Senior Editor of Investigations and Projects, at KPCC, L.A.’s leading NPR member station and its website LAist.com. In this role, I led a small team of investigative reporters on high-stakes radio and web stories; edited or consulted on investigative or deep-dive narratives with other reporters in the newsroom and freelancers; helped plan newsroom strategy as a member of the editorial management team; and acted as a point-person on collaborations with other news outlets, including  the Beacon Project at USC/Annenberg's journalism school. While at KPCC/LAist, I was also the editor on California City, a multi-episode narrative podcast. During the pandemic, I worked on a lot of daily news, including breaking stories of public interest.

​

Before my time at KPCC/LAist, I freelance-edited stories for 5280 (Denver's city magazine) and Matter (RIP), one of which became  the source material for a segment for Last Week Tonight With John Oliver. In 2010 I did a late-round edit of Tracy Ross’s well-received memoir, The Source of All Things (Free Press/Simon & Schuster).

From 2006 to 2008 I was articles editor at Denver’s 5280 magazine, where I assigned and edited several departments and features each month, and top-edited the front-of-book and some service packages. One package I edited won the 2007 City and Regional Magazine Award in Leisure Interests, and a handful of articles I edited were CRMA finalists.

​

From 2003 to 2006 I was executive editor at Boulder, Colorado-based Skiing magazine, where I edited the front-of-the-book, features, and service packages, top-edited a substantial portion of the magazine, and wrote when time allowed.

​

While freelancing from 1998 to 2003, I was editor-in-chief of a custom-published magazine called No Boundaries.

​

I started my career in fall of 1995 as an intern at New York City’s PAPER magazine. A few months later I moved to Santa Fe, New Mexico, to be an editorial intern at Outside, where I wound up spending two years as a junior editor.
