Hi there! I am a freelance journalist. I write a daily newsletter, The Media Today, for the Columbia Journalism Review, a magazine based in New York City. (Occasionally, it has reappeared in The Guardian.) I was previously in the building at CJR as a Delacorte magazine fellow, covering US and international politics and media. Before that, I worked as a Dow Jones interactive editing intern at BuzzFeed News (also in New York), after graduating from the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism with high honors in May 2017.
My magazine feature writing has appeared in the New York Review of Books, The Atlantic, The Nation, CJR, Foreign Policy, n+1, Atlas Obscura, The Intercept, World Politics Review, and MIT Technology Review. My investigative work on the global lottery industry has appeared in The Intercept, and in the Hartford Courant, the New York Daily News, and PennLive in the US (winning three awards), and in GroundUp, City Press, Rapport, and the Limpopo Mirror in South Africa.
