I am the associate director of government reform at the Center for American Progress, a Washington think tank. Before that, I was an investigative reporter at Bloomberg News, and a government and higher education reporter at the Baltimore Sun. I began my journalism career at the great Baltimore City Paper.
Here is a resume.
Here is a link to my work at CAP, where I help run the Doing What Works project in the economic policy department, overseeing all reports and other written products.
I have taught public policy communications at Georgetown and George Washington universities, academic writing at the Maryland Institute College of Art, and fiction and poetry writing at Johns Hopkins. Here are a series of checklists I use to teach writing.
In a previous life, I worked at this eBay company when it was a startup and wrote the screenplay for this movie.
