About
I'm a reporter with Bloomberg Law in Washington, D.C., where I host and produce UnCommon Law, a narrative audio program now in its eleventh season. My reporting has won the ABA Silver Gavel Award, the legal profession's highest honor for media coverage.
Before Bloomberg, I produced stories for NPR's All Things Considered, Weekend Edition, Morning Edition and Hidden Brain. I also reported hundreds of spots for NPR's hourly newscast. At WAMU 88.5, I co-created Unprecedented, a podcast about the ordinary people behind landmark First Amendment cases at the Supreme Court, with appearances by NPR's Nina Totenberg. I also co-founded Booksmart Studios, the first podcast studio launched in partnership with Substack, where I served as executive producer.
In a past life, I was a telecommunications attorney representing major carriers, broadcasters and cable companies. I hold a J.D. from Georgetown University Law Center and a B.A. in political science from the University of Michigan. In a past life, I was a telecommunications reporter covering the intersection of technology and policy. Go Blue!
