I’m a health care reporter, and people person. My stories. Your voices.

I write about health policy for MedPage Today.

I started off my career in book publishing, before turning to journalism.

My favorite stories have always been those with a strong sense of character, those that make you feel, and those that stay with you long after you’ve put them down.

My work often touches on mental health, ethical issues, and resilience.

I have reported on significant Supreme Court decisions , historic moments in congress, and the risk of COVID-19 transmission in vulnerable communities.

In 2020, Elizabeth Hlavinka and I wrote a series on child welfare and kinship care, through a fellowship from USC Annenberg’s Center for Health Journalism, and won a Poverty and Inequality Award from the National Press Foundation.

In 2019, I was awarded a grant from the Solutions Journalism Network to pursue and co-publish an investigation of nurses and suicide with KPBS .

I grew up outside Philadelphia. After earning my degree from the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at CUNY, I moved to Washington D.C., where I Iive now.
