Brulliard has been with The Post for over 18 years, joining as an editorial assistant/summer intern. She then served as a criminal justice reporter, before being promoted to the post of immigration reporter. She then became South Africa bureau chief, Pakistan bureau chief, and then Jerusalem bureau chief. She was then named deputy foreign editor and then served as a staff writer.
