“Excited to play more of a role overseeing our coverage and continuing to work with @kalynbelsha! Don’t worry — I’ll still be writing and reporting regularly.”

He was a Spencer fellow in education journalism at Columbia University and was a staff writer at The 74 Media, a non-partisan news service covering K-12 education across the United States.
