About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meet a more diverse array of people and discuss with them the sorts of journalism I'm working on--immigration policy, foreign aid/charity, war and conflict, etc.

ABOUT ME

I'm a freelance journalist living in Berlin, and sometimes returning to Kenya, Haiti and the Dominican Republic, where I reported for some years now. I really enjoy freelance journalism it lets me meet all sorts of people and perspectives I otherwise wouldn't.
