I'm experienced in broadcast, audio and digital production and have reported from three continents. I've covered multiple elections, two Olympics, mass shootings, a ground war in Europe, global unrest, terrorism, crime and a pandemic.
As a reporter, I worked in CNN's New York bureau, covering high profile stories for TV, reporting news wires and writing digital stories -- not to mention stalking Donald Trump's former lawyer around the Upper East Side of Manhattan.
As an investigative journalist, I spent two and a half years as a researcher and reporting assistant on an upcoming book about US intelligence in the Middle East.
As an audio producer, I worked on The Economist's daily news podcast and wrote and reported a 30-minute audio documentary about the effect of immigration status and national politics on the mental health of undocumented immigrants.
As a writer, I've interviewed Proud Boys, priests, imams and ambassadors, written about money saving for The Times of London and wrote this long-form feature about religious spaces in Jerusalem.
