I’m an award-winning journalist with work spanning the intersections of local issues, state and national politics, business and international affairs.

My features, investigations and daily reporting have appeared in USA Today, NBC News, Scientific American, Fortune, PRI’s The World, and smaller outlets ranging from local weeklies to NPR affiliates.

I’m currently a staff writer at Law360, where I cover legal and policy news about mergers and acquisitions, private equity and capital markets across multiple industries.

In 2020-2022, I wrote about rural issues for the USA Today Network - Wisconsin, where I covered everything from the 2020 elections to water pollution as they happened in rural communities throughout the state.

I reported a Best of Gannett-winning investigation on the devasting health effects of nitrate contamination in the village of Nelsonville, and following its publication, the state Department of Natural Resources ordered the farm thought to be causing the contamination to begin monitoring its groundwater for the first time.

My political coverage included everything from presidential appearances to local races, and I dug deeper into the ways misinformation affected rural voters and grassroots groups attempted to combat extremism in their communities.

Previously, I was a freelance reporter and Fulbright grantee in Ukraine, where I reported on the young journalists working to build an independent news media in the fledgling democracy.

I also reported from the regions of the country placed under martial law in 2018 by then president Petro Poroshenko, and chronicled the country’s struggles to reckon with the artistic remnants of its Soviet history.

I got my start interning as a reporter at Bloomberg Government where I covered developments in agriculture policy on Capitol Hill during the first year of the Trump administration, and then interned at NBC News where I wrote feature and daily stories on the run-up to the 2018 mid-term elections.

I have an undergraduate degree in History from the University of St. Andrews in Scotland, and an M.A. in Journalism from the University of Missouri School of Journalism, where I reported on state government for the Columbia Missourian, and produced shows and audio stories for NPR affiliate KBIA.

I previously worked in non-profits and EFL teaching, and led media literacy and ethics workshops in Ukraine. I am available for freelance writing, editing and audio assignments.
