Currently: Deputy International Editor at The Washington Post. I manage a group of eight regional and breaking news editors on International and run daily International coverage at The Post.
Previously: South Asia and Africa Editor at The Washington Post, where I oversaw coverage out of Delhi, Islamabad, Nairobi and Dakar. Over five years, I edited stories from a team of five to seven correspondents spanning a huge swath of the world, covering everything from a plague of locusts in Kenya and phone hacking in India to the fall of Afghanistan. I assigned and edited stories in projects that won a Pulitzer Prize, a Polk Award and a couple of Overseas Press Club awards.
Before becoming an assignment editor, I was the desk’s digital editor and spent time thinking about our digital editorial strategy and the tools we use. I created innovative storytelling formats that experimented with reader callouts and translations, and I was the project editor on a three-part series on the Israeli occupation of the West Bank that won another Overseas Press Club award.
I previously worked as the The Post’s first newsletter and alerts editor. (The Post may have coined “pop-up newsletters” during my tenure.) And before that, I was a producer in Milwaukee, an editor in Istanbul and a student in Missouri, where I worked long hours for pennies at The Maneater, the University of Missouri-Columbia’s award-winning student newspaper.
