About Me
I'm an award-winning multimedia journalist and writer currently based in New England. You've seen my copy on Netflix and heard my voice on WCRB, Boston's classical music station. I've worked as producer with WBUR for Radio Boston, a daily, news-driven radio show, and previously I was host and producer for "And Another Thing" on New England Public Media.
I've been working steadily for more than a decade. I spent around five years working for DW News/Deutsche Welle, Germany's international broadcaster, as an anchor and on-air correspondent. I was based in Berlin and on the U.S. East Coast, where I covered politics, culture, and everything in between. I've reported on the attacks in Charlottesville, the 2017 inauguration riots, Hurricane Florence, the U.S. Embassy moving to Jerusalem, the immigrant experience in the US and in Germany, and much more. I've been published in the Washington Post, the Atlantic, the Daily Beast, Gawker, and Business Insider among others, covering everything from the UN Security Council, to educational technology and privacy, to New York's dating culture.
