I began my research career as a University of Virginia physics librarian. Watergate got me interested in news, and I have been at the Herald-Leader for 28 years. I have a master’s degree from Northern Illinois University and an undergraduate degree from Oklahoma State University. It's fun to find that one piece of information that makes a story sizzle.

My mother was a public school librarian. I earned a bachelor’s degree in music and a master’s degree in library and information science from the University of Kentucky.
