What I Do
I help ensure ProPublica’s journalism reaches readers looking for information or answers on Google and other search engines. I also help package our stories for readers across platforms and manage ProPublica’s relationships with off-platform partners, including Apple News and SmartNews.
My Background
Before joining ProPublica in 2024, I worked at Time for eight years as a reporter and, later, as its director of audience, leading a team responsible for search, social and newsletters.
