Stephanie Simon is the senior education reporter for POLITICO Pro. She previously worked as the national education reporter for Reuters, writing about both K-12 and higher education. Before that, she spent four years on the national desk of The Wall Street Journal. And before that, she spent 15 years with The Los Angeles Times, where she covered religion, agriculture, politics and the O.J. Simpson trial.
Simon won the Education Writers Association beat writing award in 2013, but her kids consider it a far greater feat — given her general lack of coordination — that that she rowed in a novice crew boat that won the national championship for Yale University. She graduated from Yale with a B.A. in English in 1991. Simon then spent a year and a half in Russia, where she taught English at one of the first private schools in Moscow, drawing a salary paid in part in black-market sausage and cooking oil. Simon lives with her husband, an artist, in Hopkinton, Mass. They have three children — one each in elementary, middle and high school.
