Features Focus
My career has been devoted to crafting long-form features both as an editor and writer. The deeply reported stories I produce have covered the crises in higher education over viewpoint diversity and research fraud as well as the quest for excellence in public education, innovative urban charter schools and the risks and rewards of school choice programs. While my stories often engage controversial topics, I strive for fairness and fresh insights that illuminate rather than inflame the issues.
