I joined CQ Roll Call in the spring of 2015 and soon after I launched what is now called the CQ on Congress podcast, among the first news podcasts. I added three more podcasts to showcase Congressional Quarterly's and Roll Call's expertise. The shows are carried by all podcast apps. I developed, produced and edited all the podcasts while managing a reporting team. I also created the production and post-production processes.

About Me
Storytelling in all its forms
It was in middle school that I first learned of Watergate and the Washington Post journalists behind an investigation that brought down a president. I found how the two reporters pursued the story just as fascinating. There and then I said: I want to do that. I have travelled all over the world to tell stories of ordinary people, of kings, popes and prime ministers. But whether it was a fire that destroyed a Vietnamese immigrant family's new home in Lowell, Massachusetts or a phalanx of women protesting a Middle East dictatorship, I marveled at the opportunity and responsibility of witnessing events that would shape history whether that was on a global or a local scale. I've reported for newspapers, Time, Newsweek, and CBS Radio. With each new assignment or job, I learned skills, gained expertise and perspectives that have helped me develop into a versatile journalist who feels comfortable editing text, producing podcasts, leading a news team or researching a book.
