About

Reporting that starts with listening.

I am a journalist and storyteller drawn to the people and places at the heart of change. My work spans breaking news, investigations, interviews, and long-form features, with a focus on how large forces shape everyday lives.

I believe in rigorous reporting, honest storytelling, and listening first, because the most important stories are often the ones people are not hearing.
