I’m a New York City-based journalist specializing in business news, local reporting, features and investigations. Over nine years as a metro reporter, I’ve developed a robust network of sources across the region’s political, civic, real estate and business circles, as well as within its sprawling transportation systems. Most recently, I spent nearly four years at Crain’s New York Business, where I covered transportation and climate.

My reporting included some of the city’s biggest stories, such as the state’s launch of congestion pricing in Manhattan; the post-pandemic recovery of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, the nation’s largest mass transit network; how large building owners are retrofitting their properties to comply with the city’s building decarbonization law; and fluctuations in the state’s offshore wind industry.

While at Crain’s, my story “Subway retail SOS: MTA struggles to fix the dead mall under New York City” won gold for best multimedia package from both the National Association of Real Estate Editors and the Alliance of Area Business Publishers for enterprising reporting and engaging design. The Society for Advancing Business Editing and Writing awarded my colleagues and me the Best in Business prize for general excellence two years in a row — one of the most prestigious honors in business journalism.

I previously covered housing, the built environment and transportation for Curbed at New York Magazine, and neighborhoods in Manhattan and Brooklyn for Patch, DNAinfo and the Brooklyn Paper. I also did a stint as a breaking news reporter at the New York Post. Before beginning my journalism career, I earned a bachelor’s degree in English from Mount Holyoke College and a master’s degree from Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism.
