I have worked full-time as a daily newspaper reporter since 1998 and previously wrote for a weekly newspaper. I have covered major disasters, breaking news of world importance, politics, education, air travel and just about everything in between. I have appeared on national television multiple times and was quoted as a "higher education expert" in Der Spiegel, one of Germany's largest newspapers.
Reporting specialties include: higher education, affirmative action, courts, air travel, breaking news.
