International Politics

Geopolitics, Migration, and Policy

I'm drawn to stories where the dominant narrative is technically true but seriously incomplete. These are the ones told in a single cause, when the real explanation runs decades deep. My reporting has taken me into political and investigative territory, from covering post-crisis corruption to securing interviews with senior political figures. In every case, I trace the crisis back to the structural roots that popular narratives leave out. It's work that has sharpened my ability to navigate sensitive, high-stakes stories and build trust quickly , often under pressure.

Below, you'll find a range of journalistic work, audio, written analysis, op-eds, and articles, on the stories and questions that drive this reporting.
