I do mobile product management out of The Washington Post newsroom. Day to day, I work with developers, designers and editors to expand our abilities to tell stories across platforms.

What I work on at The Post
Mobile site: I defined requirements for the new version of the site, continually tested the site as it was forming and trained the newsroom on how it functioned with our CMS. Since the site’s launch in August 2012, we’ve rolled out features like social sharing, offline reading and live sports. More improvements are in the works.
iPad app: I tested new app functionality ahead of the 2012 election and edited the app homescreen live on election night and inauguration day.
Editorial strategy: Improving our mobile products is only part of my job. I also help reporters and editors plan for mobile readers’ needs for news events and develop and execute mobile-first features.

About me
About me
I’ve worked at the Post since May 2010 when I started out as a Web producer intern working with on the foreign and business desks.
After my internship, I became a full-time overnight producer, editing breaking stories and managing the homepage at odd hours of the day. A year later, I moved to a dayside producing job where I managed the regional homepage, ran social media accounts and created Web-only elements for local news stories.
In April 2012, I began focusing part of my days on the Post’s new mobile site that was in development, and in August 2012, that became my full-time job.
Before coming to the Post, I attended the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and interned at three daily newspapers and ABC News On Campus. I was a 2010 Poynter College Fellow.
