She started on Monday.

Dooley had been with Newsday since November 2010, and for the past three-and-a-half years she was the environmental and Superstorm Sandy reporter.

She also reported on Superstorm Sandy issues, from environmental and infrastructure to federal funding and rebuilding.

Dooley also was a journalism fellow for the NORC Center for Public Affairs Research in 2014, and she previously covered the town of North Hempstead for Newsday.

From March 2008 to November 2010, Dooley was a business reporter for the Richmond Times-Dispatch. She also worked for six years at the Cape Cod Times and for the Colorado community weekly newspapers Littleton Independent, Highlands Ranch Herald and Lone Tree Voice.
