I am a political correspondent with experience in regional reporting, social affairs coverage, and national politics. Over the years, I have reported on several administrations, which has shaped my understanding of what political journalism should bring to society. I believe that power can begin to escape proper accountability when it is not examined with care. One of the most important responsibilities of a political reporter is to recognize the early signs of such drift and to make them clear to the public.
I have also covered many elections, which has deepened my understanding of how democratic systems function and how political decisions take shape.
For a period, I stepped away from daily reporting to serve as an officer in a labour union. Negotiating working conditions and discussing the challenges facing employees gave me a clearer sense of the management issues confronting media organizations today. This experience broadened my perspective on how newsrooms operate and strengthened my commitment to supporting journalism that serves the public interest.
I approach my work with integrity and a commitment to clear, responsible reporting that serves the public interest.
