As managing editor of the Miami Herald, I oversee the newsroom’s coverage, from local issues and state politics to entertainment, sports, visual journalism and investigations. I’m a native Floridian and a veteran journalist who twice led teams honored with the Pulitzer Prize Gold Medal for Public Service. A University of Florida graduate, I grew up in Tampa and spent the first decade of my career as a reporter in South Florida, covering beats ranging from cops and government to education and environment. Before joining the Herald, I was managing editor of the South Florida Sun Sentinel. I’ve served as a Pulitzer Prize juror and president of the Florida Society of News Editors. I prioritize stories that matter to readers, and journalism that makes a positive impact in our community.
