I graduated from Rutgers University with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Journalism, having started my career covering US energy markets for 15 years. For the past several years, I have transitioned to coverage of the US steel markets, where my focus has been on providing daily price reporting and industry news for US scrap, flat steel and domestic and import long steel markets.
