Managing editor, local
I build and oversee news teams across the U.S. that make up The Marshall Project - Local, where reporters focus on the justice systems in local communities.
I have built a two-decade career primarily in local newsrooms around the country, reporting and editing on criminal justice, municipal governments and education, among other things. Before becoming an editor, I was a reporter for newspapers including the News & Observer in Raleigh, North Carolina, the Macon (Georgia) Telegraph, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the Detroit Free Press and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Before coming to The Marshall Project, I was executive and state editor for several Gannett publications in Mississippi, including the Clarion Ledger in Jackson and the Hattiesburg American.
In addition to my daily work, I mentor and serve on advisory boards advocating for better diversity in newsrooms and helping to train future journalists.
Where we should expand our local footprint. We have several areas in mind for additional news teams, but we would love to hear from you about where you see a need.
