I have a master’s degree in journalism from the University of California at Berkeley and a bachelor’s degree in history from UCLA.ĭuring the 2014-15 academic year, I was selected as a Knight-Wallace fellow at the University of Michigan where I joined a small group of domestic and international journalists for a year of study. I’ve also been a reporter with KQED Public Radio in its Sacramento bureau, The Seattle Times newspaper, MarketWatch in San Francisco, and NPR’s business desk.

I feel quite lucky to have met so many interesting people in so many fascinating places.

Since I began working at The World full time back in 2006, I’ve reported from more than 20 countries and 43 US states, including the top of a rickety tower 150 feet above the Panamanian jungle, an abandoned Ukrainian town near Chernobyl, and shops and restaurants along the Texas-Mexico border. But I have also regularly covered environmental issues and climate change, US foreign policy and politics, agriculture, and immigration reform. My most-recent stories focus primarily on global business, trade, and economics. Even though my role has changed, I'm trying to keep my reporting hat on as well, as time permits. Prior to becoming the show editor, I spent 13 years as a reporter/correspondent, and occasional fill-in editor, with The World. I also work with a team of editors and reporters to develop longer-term features and run our internship program. As the show editor at The World, I work with reporters, producers and host to help set our news agenda each morning, then edit many of the words listeners hear later that day.
