I’m a New York-based investigative journalist. I primarily write and report about the criminal legal system, but I’ve also written about topics including climate change, war, extremism and business for national news outlets. I’m an experienced fact-checker and researcher who has worked on books and podcasts.

I’m currently reporting stories on the changing landscape of capital punishment as a recipient of a grant from The Ira A. Lipman Center for Journalism and Civil and Human Rights award. I’m also working for Freakonomics Radio Network, where I provide research for The Economics of Everyday Things and conduct fact-checking for two of the network’s other shows.

I’m particularly interested in accountability stories. My work has appeared in outlets including ProPublica, The Intercept, Fortune, The Appeal, Gothamist and Al Jazeera.
