I’m a triple threat:

  • Print: 5 years at the Georgetown Voice and the Strake Jesuit Magis. It all culminated in this investigation of a campus security director.
  • Blogging: In 4 months, I took my paper’s blog from 6,000 monthly views to 40,000 using document-based reporting.
  • Multimedia: Soundslides and Google Maps productions.

My resume:
