I'm a data and investigative journalist with a two-decade track record of consistently producing revelatory work that had impact, including dozens of new laws and other reforms. My work has also been recognized with 30+ awards and honors, including the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service for a series I reported for the New York Daily News in partnership with ProPublica.

​

I’m currently developing a data framework for investigating supply chains, supported by two grants from the Brown Institute for Media Innovation at Columbia University. I'm also a member of the Columbia Startup Lab's '25-26 cohort in Soho and recently completed a summer product design course, both through the Institute. I'm available for freelance and contract opportunities.

​

In May, I completed the Knight-Bagehot Fellowship in Economics and Business Journalism at Columbia, a rigorous mid-career fellowship where I took the MBA core curriculum and electives in statistics, AI, and supply chains. Prior to the fellowship, I was an investigative reporter at The Boston Globe, where I covered a wide range of topics, from conflicts of interest in medical research to loopholes in state gun laws. I’ve also reported extensively on the COVID-19 pandemic for the New York Times Opinion video team and The Fuller Project; on policing and criminal justice for The Trace, New York Daily News, ProPublica, and BuzzFeed; and on New York real estate and development for various publications.

​

I’m passionate about sharing what I’ve learned with others and about diversifying the profession, and I’ve spoken at dozens of conferences, workshops, and university classrooms.

Before discovering my love of reporting, I was a painter, community organizer, and waitress.
