Senior Policy Reporter

I am a senior policy reporter with a focus on telling the stories of how Americans are affected by the policies set in Washington. I have interviewed truckers unable to pay their bills, military families struggling to find child care, ex-convicts who can't get a job despite widespread labor shortages, middle-class families having to turn to food banks, police and firefighters burnt out by excessive overtime, immigrant health care workers who feel trapped in dangerous jobs, and neighbors warring over affordable housing. I have also reported on the widespread effects of rising prices for housing, cars and building materials and the real-world implications that is having on individuals and communities. My work appears across NBC News platforms, including NBCNews.com, NBC Nightly News, MSNBC and NBC News Now.
