Product Director at @newsmediahelpdesk.org. Journalist. Product thinker. Chicana. Runner. Techie person. Mizzou J-School grad 🐯 Past bylines: The Boston Globe, The Kansas City Star, Omaha World-Herald and others.
After more than a decade working in newsrooms, I've seen firsthand the passion and resilience of journalists. I've also seen the immense pressure they face, often with limited time and resources.

That's why I've spent the last nine months building something I truly believe the news industry needs.

Today is the first day of the semester at Mizzou! I’ll be teaching the School of Journalism’s Multimedia Planning and Design class.

My students will learn about digital news design, they'll code (HTML, CSS, Javascript) and they'll learn how to make intentional UI/UX decisions that serve audiences.

Today was my last day working at The Boston Globe. So grateful to have been part of this incredible newsroom✨

I’ll share where I’m headed after this next week.

Part one of a @bostonglobe.com + @onthemedia.bsky.social's collab taking a deeper look inside the chaos at Harvard University last year is live.

"The Harvard Plan" explores the rise and fall of Claudine Gay’s presidency and the explosive fight for the soul of America’s most prestigious university.
