About

I've worked as a breaking news, long-form, investigative, and data reporter in the U.S. and Europe exposing human trafficking, cross-border organized crime, and money laundering. I used to be a researcher at OCCRP and learned to uncover company ownership and money trails in the U.S., Europe, Asia, Middle East, and Africa. As an editor, I have managed budget lines, fact-checking, layout, and cross-border colllaborations and specialize in finding investigative angles that create international impact.Before becoming research editor of the Rainforest, Ocean, AI, and U.S. Storyreach initiatives at the Pulitzer Center, I coordinated a team of journalists (Rainforest Investigations Network) uncovering the corruption, crime, and supply chains behind the destruction of rainforests.
