I am the Chicago bureau chief for The New York Times, which means I live in Chicago and write and report stories from around the Midwest.
What I Cover
The stories that interest me most reveal how national issues affect ordinary people. I have written about the effects of the coronavirus pandemic, protest movements, civil unrest, rural life and social change. As a reporter for the National section, I often cover local and state politics, natural disasters, gun violence and breaking news.
My coverage area stretches across 11 states in the Midwest: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wisconsin.
My Background
My first job in journalism was at The Times, as a news assistant in the Washington bureau. Since then, I’ve covered a range of beats across the paper: the publishing industry, media and advertising, the New York City public school system, homelessness and a presidential campaign.
For more than two years, I was part of the team of Times reporters documenting the Covid-19 pandemic, with a special focus on stories that examined the country’s grief, loss, and resilience.
I’m a native of Kenosha, Wis., and a graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Journalistic Ethics
I approach each story with a desire to reflect the truth and help readers understand life in the Midwest. I don’t make political donations or accept gifts. I always identify myself as a Times journalist on work-related conversations. You can read more about the principles that guide our work in The Times’s Ethical Journalism handbook.
