I’m the audience editor for search, and I help make sure readers find ProPublica’s journalism through search engines.

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.
