Biography

I have worked for The Associated Press on a full-time basis since September 1997, starting out as an editorial assistant in the Washington, D.C., bureau before transferring to the Detroit bureau in January 1999. Since that time, I have worked as the Michigan AP's day and night editor, its interim news editor and as a general assignment reporter. These days, I am a "video first" journalist at the AP, which means I primarily shoot and edit my own video pieces for online and broadcast use and am a general assignment text reporter. I also write the occasional national book review. I started at the AP as a weekend editorial assistant in 1996 while a graduate student at the University of Maryland. I earned a master's in journalism from Maryland in 1997 and spent that summer interning at the Atlanta Journal-Constitution before joining the AP on a full-time basis in the fall. I earned a bachelor's degree in political science in 1995 from The College of Wooster (Ohio), where I worked for three years as a sports editor at the campus newspaper. I grew up in the Pittsburgh area and graduated from Beaver (Pa.) High School in 1991.
