I’m a courts and legal reporter for The Hill, covering the intersection of national politics and the judiciary. My beat primarily focuses on the U.S. Supreme Court and the cases shaping the Trump administration.

As someone who is not a lawyer, I am passionate about helping non-lawyers digest the intricacies of legal proceedings as they increasingly become relevant to the political arena. 

I spend much of my time sitting in courtrooms at every level — from local traffic court to the nation’s highest court — whenever a political figure is involved. I have also appeared on television and radio stations including CNN, MSNBC, NewsNation, SiriusXM, C-SPAN and more to discuss the latest legal news.

I grew up in the D.C. area and have been following politics since I was a kid. In fact, the first time I skipped school was to head to the Senate chamber to observe a cabinet member’s confirmation vote. I graduated from The George Washington University with a bachelor’s degree in political communication, where I worked as a reporter and editor at GW’s student-run newspaper, The GW Hatchet.
