I’m an experienced journalist whose enthusiasm for the health beat has only grown over time. My favorite assignments involve explaining complex medical research and federal regulations and policies in simple terms. I often write about battles over the costs of treatments and questions about the evidence supporting their use.
Please check out the pages on this website to see examples of my work.
As a freelancer, I require little or no direction from editors. But I’m always happy to talk about stories. Getting to chat with colleagues is one of the best things about being a journalist. My specialty is bringing added context and depth to stories written on tight deadlines, but I also enjoy working on feature stories. I’m based in Washington, D.C.
In 2026, I’m seeking assignments to write about:
–advances in cellular and gene therapy and the strategies to cover their cost.
–questions about artificial intelligence in medicine. How do we know whether AI-powered tools are helping patients? Who’s checking on them?
–how new drugs and vaccines make it to market.
This is an example of the kinds of assignments I’m seeking this year:
