Hi there! I’m available as a sounding board for students and early-career journalists. I’ve covered national politics professionally for a decade, including at Talking Points Memo and currently at HuffPost, as a reporter on the national desk. I can offer advice on entering the profession, doing the work, and building your career, particularly in digital news.

Kat can coach on leadership, management of news teams and projects, practical innovation and experimentation in newsrooms, project management, video and photo journalism.

I can inspire my mentees to pursue meaningful, impactful work focused on equity and community empowerment.

Jessica can mentor on freelance/independent journalism careers, communications strategy, how to have a career that honors the stories that you want to tell, relationship building with editors and publications, how to be an ethical journalist while prioritizing narratives/stories that make the world a better place, and how to have a dual career in journalism and comms.

I can mentor reporters and producers on storytelling, writing and crafting compelling TV.

Jacob can coach source-building, covering national and local government, finding the best stories and navigating the job market.
