I’m a journalist and editor focusing on the intersection of human rights, the environment and technology.
I’m currently the enterprise editor at Rest of World, working on international projects and features, linking together stories that happen at scale across the global south. I’ve been an editor-in-chief, a regional correspondent, a features editor and a producer, and I’ve reported from more than 40 countries. My work has appeared in Wired, The Atlantic, The Financial Times, Newsweek and others.
