About

I'm a reporter, writer, and editor specializing in healthcare and science. My passion is capturing the voices of researchers, patients and caregivers. I tell stories that show why the wonky stuff matters. As a former reporter and editorial writer at the Los Angeles Times, I wrote about malaria in East Africa and the twin epidemics of obesity and diabetes in East LA. My editorials were part of a 2005 Pulitzer Prize-winning series on mismanagement, malpractice and racial injustice at a public hospital. I was a Knight-Science Journalism Fellow at MIT and studied climate change as a journalism fellow at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Mass., and at Toolik Lake Field Station in Alaska's Brooks Range. As a travel writer, I've published stories on camper vans in New Zealand, beer in Portland and wildflowers in the California desert. I also research and write discussion guides for a nonprofit, nonpartisan research group on topics such as Internet privacy and freedom, the U.S. role in the world and immigration reform.
