Work
I most recently spent eight years as a staff writer for National Geographic, covering conflict, migration, human rights & culture. I followed migrants walking on foot to the U.S. border, reported from the world's largest refugee camp, and joined Prince Harry on his royal tour of southern Africa. My stories have been turned into podcast episodes and television segments, and included in books.
I also launched “Lost & Found,” a series to tell forgotten stories from the National Geographic archives—from the Nazi once on staff to the first American female photographer to die in combat. Previously, I was a staff reporter for Newsweek and the Daily Beast. My work has also appeared in the Washington Post, Foreign Policy, Atlas Obscura, and Vice.
I have a degree in journalism from the University of Oregon.
