I’m a host and producer of HuffPost Live. Welcome to my Tumblr. This is where I post about the news and other good stuff. I’m also the AMC News correspondent. I recently contributed to MTV News 2012 election coverage and hosted Civics In A Minute for Participant Media, which was selected by The Webby Awards as a 2013 honoree. I’m on the board of Why Tuesday, a nonpartisan group working to increase American voter participation, and a member of the City Year Los Angeles associates board. I co-hosted NBC’s School Pride and have contributed reporting to CNN, NPR’s Weekend Edition and the PBS series WIRED Science.
