Like many journalists, I had my start in local news, reporting about community board meetings, cultural events and road accidents.
After college, I freelanced from the Middle East, writing about geopolitics and culture.
During my Master’s program at Columbia University’s Journalism School I was lucky to get a scholarship for the school’s Stabile Center for Investigative Journalism.
There, I specialized in investigative interviewing techniques, data driven research and OSINT information gathering. I also learned how to develop an investigative driven hypothesis.
While much of my work these days is in the longform space, I still produce news features.
Recently, I worked in ARD’s NY bureau, contributing to coverage for German daily news show Tagesschau and the weekly magazine format Tagesspiegel.
