I am a reporter covering housing for New York City public radio station WNYC and news site Gothamist.
I used to be the deputy editor at City Limits, where I covered housing and homelessness in New York City. I was also the co-host of City Watch, a live weekly news program on WBAI 99.5 FM.
Before that, I was managing editor of the Queens Daily Eagle.
And prior to my career in journalism, I worked as a licensed social worker in supportive housing and homeless services and a personal trainer for people with mental illness and substance use problems. I wrote some other non-journalism things.
