I’m the investigations editor on the Metro desk of The New York Times, overseeing a team of reporters who hold powerful people and institutions to account.What I Do
My reporters focus on exposing corruption, fraud, waste and wrongdoing by governments, corporations and other organizations. They have latitude to roam widely, but all of their stories have a strong connection to New York or the surrounding areas. Work by my team has revealed dangerous dysfunction inside New York City’s jails; deficient education in private religious schools; failures of the safety net for homeless, mentally ill people; and abuses within the prominent performance group Shen Yun.
My Background
I joined The Times in 2017 as a correspondent on the Investigations desk, where I wrote about breakdowns in the New York City transit system, Facebook’s trading of personal data to other big tech firms, the Trump administration’s promotion of American arms sales overseas and inequities in policing.
Previously, I spent more than a decade as an investigative reporter and editor in Florida.
I have twice won the Pulitzer Prize, in 2014 for exposing problems in a Florida homeless program and in 2016 for revealing one Florida county’s neglect of schools in Black neighborhoods.
Journalistic Ethics
Like all Times journalists, I uphold the standards of integrity laid out in our Ethical Journalism Handbook. I go to great lengths to ensure that the articles my team publishes are fair, accurate and attentive to nuance, and I protect the identity of all confidential sources.
