Position: Bureau Chief, Boston; Deputy Bureau Chief, Northeast U.S.
I've been a Reuters correspondent for 18 years with postings in six countries. Before coming to Boston, my native city, in 2005 as Bureau Chief, I worked in several Asia-Pacific regions, including postings in Hong Kong, Singapore, Tokyo and Sydney. I cover a range of stories -- from general & political news to fraud and mutual funds -- and manage a bureau of five reporters. I'm a winner of the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi award for a 2007 series on Mormonism in America.
