Staff writer at PolitiFact
I'm a staff writer with PolitiFact, where I cover politics, the media and online misinformation as the lead reporter fact-checking political pundits. Previously, I worked as a reporter for PolitiFact North Carolina at the News & Observer in Raleigh, North Carolina, and before that as an intern at PolitiFact's Washington bureau.
I'm a recent graduate of Duke University, where I studied public policy and journalism. I have also contributed to Busting Brackets, FanSided's college basketball website.
