About me

I'm a journalist, writer, and audio producer currently based in New York City. My stories often cover people and places that don’t make national headlines but relate to deeper political, economic, and historical issues. I currently work as a reporter at Global Investigations Review, where I write about international corporate criminal law.

I'm originally from southwestern Colorado and have lived, worked, and studied in Belgium, Ohio, Spain, Wyoming, and northern India. I got my start in professional journalism as a reporter and host at KSJD Radio in my hometown of Cortez. Since then, I've produced hundreds of interviews, news articles, feature stories, and audio segments for national, regional and local outlets.

In addition to English, I speak fluent French and Spanish and conversational Hindi. Between 2018 and 2020, I was an Oberlin Shansi Memorial Association fellow, where I worked with Jagori Rural Charitable Trust, a grassroots organization in Himachal Pradesh, India. I have a bachelor's degree in politics from Oberlin College and a master's degree in international journalism from the City University of New York.
