EDITORIAL HIGHLIGHTS and awards
My background as a statehouse, investigative, feature and data reporter strengthens my foundation as a fact-checker.
Understanding the process and craft of journalism helps me pinpoint potential fault lines in the work I’m bulletproofing. And having been on the other side of it, I know how to communicate with care and respect to make fact-checking a collaborative and supportive process.
Below are select highlights of my work, which has been broadcast and published by the BBC World Service, NPR, the Boston Globe, the Montreal Gazette and magazines, newspapers and websites from Vermont to Australia.
