I love teaching journalists to follow the money. I direct the Dow Jones News Fund's business reporting residency in New York and regularly train major newsrooms. I have more than two decades of reporting and editing experience in New York, London and Mexico. For the Wall Street Journal, I covered the implosion of telecom equipment giants under pressure from Chinese competition. My award-winning series for the Financial Times kept Mexico's First Lady from using charity to fund her bid to succeed her husband as president. I began reporting as a freelance in Mexico, and joined The Associated Press, covering peso plummets, pollution, petroleum and presidential elections for The Associated Press.  I graduated from Yale, and earned an MBA and an M.S. in journalism at Columbia, both thanks to the Knight-Bagehot Fellowship.
