I’m an award-winning audio reporter and producer covering Russia and the fallout of the war in Ukraine. I also frequently write about climate and the environment. My work has appeared in outlets like Marketplace, Public Radio International, Monocle Radio, The Associated Press, and KQED in San Francisco.

From 2012-2019, I was based between Mexico City and California, where I covered Latin America and produced a bilingual audio series about immigration called MigRadio.

I have a decade of experience in podcast production and am always on the lookout to collaborate on new projects as a producer, reporter, editor or fact checker. I'm adept at incorporating foreign-language tape into audio stories and collaborating with international teams. I've also trained reporters in Africa and Russia on podcast production. 

Over the years, my reporting has been supported with grants from the Fulbright Program, the UC Berkeley Human Rights Center and the Maine Community Foundation. My investigation about the mistreatment of traveling carnival workers earned an Overseas Press Club Scholar Award and resulted in an audio documentary with NPR’s Spanish-language podcast Radio Ambulante. I’m a graduate from UC Berkeley’s Graduate School of Journalism and I’m fluent in Russian and Spanish.

I got my start in journalism more than 15 years ago writing weekly dispatches for The Bangor Daily News in Bangor, Maine, about a 10,000-mile bicycle ride I completed across Siberia and Europe.
