I cover a wide range of health-related subjects, with particular attention to opioid use and addiction, the state of Medicaid coverage across America and the federal response to the Covid-19 pandemic.
I started my career at The Times as a news assistant, a job that involved writing stories about the secret lives of Robert S. Mueller III and his special counsel prosecutors; Julia Child’s Georgetown home; and the aftermath of the congressional baseball shooting.
I have been a health reporter since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, covering the development of coronavirus vaccines and the health care system’s efforts to protect Americans against the virus. I was part of a team that won a Pulitzer Prize for its coverage of Covid-19 in 2020, and another team that was a Pulitzer Prize finalist for coverage of the Trump administration’s response to the coronavirus.
I have a degree in history from the University of Chicago and grew up in East Lansing, Mich.
All Times journalists are committed to upholding the standards of integrity outlined in our Ethical Journalism Handbook. I aim to cover the lives of Americans and their health decisions with sensitivity and patience. I do not accept gifts or favors from anyone who might feature in my work, nor do I participate in political campaigns or make political donations. When talking to subjects or sources in a story, I identify myself as a New York Times reporter and work to protect confidentiality.
