about me
(my first name is pronounced like ruhr-ree)
(my first name is pronounced like ruhr-ree)
I'm a Singapore-based editor at TIME magazine, responsible for Asia coverage and overnight news—journalism that spans topics from politics to climate to technology to sports and entertainment.
I joined TIME in 2022 from Politico Magazine, where I worked since 2016—first as a researcher and ultimately as an associate editor, with a focus on enterprise, visual and interactive features, and analysis.
At POLITICO, I edited stories on the Latinos in Texas who swung for Trump, the first Native American Cabinet secretary, and the immigrant detention centers that became COVID hotspots across the rural South, to name just a few. And I wrote on subjects such as the successes and setbacks of youth climate activists in Washington, the intellectual formation of a senator who raised his fist toward insurrectionists, and more. I also oversaw the magazine's production and factchecking, and I managed its internship program, among other responsibilities.
Previously, I interned at Vox.com—covering politics, energy and the environment, and health—and I studied at Stanford University, where I wrote for the campus newspaper and led a student magazine that published one of the best pieces, according to Longreads, of local reporting in 2017.
Born and raised in Los Angeles, I’m a proud member of the National Association of Hispanic Journalists and a dual Irish citizen.
