TIME
The Brief:
Between 2007 and 2009, I was a Chicago-based reporter for TIME/TIME.com, covering the Midwest, the 2008 presidential race, national politics, education, and the Great Recession. I worked with cross-functional partners to produce print and video projects.
In 2009, I was promoted to Detroit Bureau Chief for a one-year company-wide project, producing content for TIME/TIME.com, Fortune, Money, People, and other Time Inc. publications. The role involved leading all aspects of production–conceiving, writing, editing and producing multimedia packages, as well as hosting events, moderating roundtable discussions with philanthropic, government and business leaders. I also co-led Time Inc.’s high school journalism project.
In 2010, I became a TIME/TIME.com Washington Correspondent covering the intersection of politics, policy and business.
I represented the company by providing analysis on MSNBC, National Public Radio, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, and local media outlets.
