Hi! I’m a reporter who likes making global affairs less confusing. I love stories that illuminate the behind-the-scenes of foreign and domestic politics—or reveal something culturally unexpected.
I’m currently an International reporter at The New York Times. I’ve covered a Discord election in Nepal, gender transition surgery in Iran and breaking news across six continents.
I previously worked at The Boston Globe, where I became half of a 2-reporter team covering Congress amidst the Roe draft leak and Uvalde shooting. Along the way, I broke the story of a senator’s accusation against two Trump-appointed Supreme Court justices, who she claims privately assured her Roe wouldn’t go.
Before that, I spent a year reporting on Covid-19 at National Public Radio, focusing on pandemic responses in the Global South. My work there included a 20+ article explanatory series on the virus, an analysis of Covid mortality data shared by WHO’s Chief Scientist and coverage of an East African insect crisis that became one of the section’s most-read stories of 2020.
I hold degrees from Oxford, where I was a Clarendon Scholar, and Northwestern, where I won department essay prizes in religion and literature.
