About
I am a reporter and editor based in Washington, D.C. and working at the headquarters of National Public Radio. I have filed on water shortages in South Africa, getting the power back on in Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria, and Germany’s renewable energy dream.
Previously, I reported at The Associated Press in Jerusalem, where I covered the 2009 Israel-Hamas war, the 2015 Israeli elections, and launched investigations into a sewage crisis in the Gaza Strip and police shooting of unarmed Palestinian men in the Shuafat refugee camp.
My work has been published by NPR, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, BBC, Newsweek, Gastronomica and others.
