It's true: I am a journalist. To that effect, I've written for publications including The Capitol Forum, Vox, Fast Company, Adweek, Vocativ, The Atlantic, Nieman Reports, the Columbia Journalism Review, Boston.com, and Jezebel about everything from media to murder to Meta.
I'm currently a correspondent at The Capitol Forum, where I cover antitrust and tech policy and co-author the weekly Tech Tuesday newsletter. Before that, I spent four years at Vox covering Big Tech, privacy, and policy.
You might have seen or heard me discussing any or all of these things on your favorite podcast, radio program, or TV show. I moderate panels, too.
I've added select clips of my writing below, along with a few links to some media appearances. You can find a lot more on Muck Rack.
I'm open to occasional freelancing work (as long as it isn't anything I already cover for The Capitol Forum). Get in touch!
