about me (my first name is pronounced like ruhr-ree)
I’m currently the editor of TIME’s Asia-Pacific bureau, responsible for steering the publication’s coverage of the region and overseeing global overnight news—journalism that spans every topic, from politics to culture, sports, technology, and more—both for the digital site and print magazine. In addition to managing reporters in the bureau, I also frequently collaborate with colleagues in New York, Washington, and London on news, enterprise, Ideas (essays and op-eds), and TIME franchises (i.e. TIME100, Next Generation Leaders, Latino Leaders, etc.).
I was previously based in Washington, D.C., where I worked for POLITICO Magazine from 2016 to 2022, first as a researcher and ultimately as an associate editor, with a focus on enterprise, visual and interactive features, and analysis and opinion. At POLITICO, I wrote and edited stories on immigration, climate, criminal justice, activism, media, law, and more. I also oversaw the magazine's print and digital production, factchecking, and freelance administration, and I managed its internship program, among other responsibilities.
Much earlier, I interned at Vox.com—working across the energy and the environment, politics and policy, and health and science desks—and I studied at Stanford University, where I launched and led a student magazine that published one of the year’s best pieces of local reporting, according to Longreads. Born and raised in Los Angeles, I’m a proud member of the National Association of Hispanic Journalists and a dual Irish citizen.
