Tufts University

Travel Editor

During my tenure at Times Travel section, I first built it into the country’s best newspaper travel section as named by the Society of American Travel Writers in 2020 and then, when the pandemic hit, transformed it again into a hard-hitting news and service operation that has helped explain each twist and turn of the pandemic for our readers. We give readers the information they need on a daily basis, from a constantly updated list of the travel restrictions in countries around the globe to an interactive graphic explaining the flow of air on a plane. 
During the pandemic I not only ran Travel, but  also launched a brand new weekly section called At Home aimed at helping readers lead their best possible lives. The section drove extraordinary reader engagement, with readers writing us that they were in tears when we decided to close it down when the pandemic seemed to be ebbing in May 2021.
