I am a reporter with Bloomberg Law covering the Department of Health and Human Services and the federal public health response to the Covid-19 pandemic.

I am focused on how the Biden administration is working to expand health care coverage, what their health messaging is, and what they actually do to make their goals happen. I am also looking at how the administration is fixing the problems that received renewed attention during the pandemic and how they prepare for the next pandemic, including improving medical supply chains.
I am passionate about making a career in journalism accessible for those from marginalized backgrounds and spend my free time on initiatives that work toward that goal.
I’m a member of the Association of Health Care Journalists, the Investigative Reporters and Editors, and the Society for Advancing Business Editing and Writing.
