What I cover
I work with talented reporters who cover politics, health, housing and homelessness.
My background
I spent 17 years as a reporter at The San Diego Union-Tribune where I covered cities, courts and other topics. I worked another six years as the U-T's public safety editor, leading a team of reporters who covered breaking news, wildfires, policing and criminal justice. I've also worked as an adjunct journalism instructor at Southwestern College and San Diego State University and as a longtime mentor with the National Association of Black Journalists' annual high school journalism workshop — called the JSHOP.
My goals
I want to give our audience the tools they need to make decisions about their communities and the people who represent them. I believe in the power and purpose of local journalism — to connect, inform, inspire and uplift.
