I'm a journalist and writer living in my hometown of Oakland, CA, after 25 or so years in my beloved New York City.

 

I have extensive experience managing local newsrooms across the country and am an expert in launching new outlets.   

​​

I'm a part-time features editor for KFF Health News, which publishes public health journalism for partners including the Washington Post, CNN, and LA Times, among other outlets.

​

Prior to that, and having my now 18-month-old, I was executive editor at The San Francisco Standard.

​

These days, I'm writing about my journey as what I call a "super-old new mom." Here's my latest on the topic for Slate, and here's a related short piece I wrote last year for Business Insider.
