I've been a reporter at the Tribune nearly four years. I cover health care and medical stories but also related issues such as homelessness, social services and urban planning. In fact, as a general assignment reporter I'm lucky to cover just about any story that intrigues me. A thread of bioethics runs through most of my work. Though most of my award winning pieces involve investigative stories, the ones I most enjoy explore that gray area where there are no simple right or wrong answers. For example, a few weeks ago I put together a package exploring the ethics of pandemic planning, about ethical issues and and a flu epidemic in Portland.
