I’m an Emmy Award-winning freelance journalist, and a contributing producer to Fault Lines, an investigative documentary series on Al Jazeera English. My reporting focuses on exposing abuses of power and institutional failures. I’ve written and made films for National Geographic, The Guardian, The Nation, Vice News and the PBS NewsHour. My work has taken me across North America, Central America, Europe and Asia.

Most recently, I reported on secretive units within the U.S. Border Patrol that are designed to protect agents involved in on-duty killings from legal liability.

My reporting on climate refugees from Honduras won an Edward R. Murrow Award citation from the Overseas Press Club of America and a National Headliner Award for environmental reporting. I’ve investigated the origin of a cancer cluster in a historically Black community in Houston, the failures of for-profit health care in county jails and a shadowy Israeli tech company that sells powerful spyware to authoritarian governments.

In 2019, my work for Vice News Tonight was nominated for two Emmys. I took home one for our coverage of Christine Blasey Ford’s historic congressional testimony, in which she accused Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault.

Before becoming a journalist, I designed and planted urban gardens in Providence, Rhode Island, including the Roger Williams Park Edible Forest Garden.
