MeI’m the editor of outreach and social media for The Wall Street Journal. I also write about technology and culture for the Journal and teach at NYU.

You can find me on Twitter, Facebook, Pinboard, Pinterest, Google+, and Quora.

I’ve worked on social media at the Journal since 2009 and now lead a team of journalists building news for the social web. In 2006 and 2007, I covered education and health in the Journal’s Boston bureau.

Since 2011, I’ve also been an adjunct professor at NYU’s Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute, teaching a class on digital-journalism skills to master’s students in the Studio 20 program. In 2010, I taught social media at Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism.

I was previously assistant editor of Nieman Journalism Lab, reporting on the media industry, from prior to the site’s launch in 2008 through 2009. Before that, I was a student at Harvard College, where I majored in African-American studies, wrote for The Crimson, but didn’t graduate.

My reporting has been honored by the Education Writers Association (for Journal stories about Larry Summers’ downfall at Harvard), the Newhouse School’s Mirror Awards (for Nieman Lab coverage of The Associated Press), and Newsweek’s Current Project for Student Journalism (for a Crimson investigation of Summers’ leadership). In 2011, Forbes named me to its list of “30 Under 30″ in media.

Sometimes I speak about the future of news at events, which have recently included the Online News Association’s annual conference, SXSW Interactive, and BarCamp NewsInnovation Philadelphia.

I grew up in Scarsdale, New York, and now live in the West Harlem neighborhood of Manhattan. To contact me, click here.
