ABOUT THIS SITE
This is a small, nonchronological selection of my work. The links below are mostly feature and enterprise stories, though I’ve also reported traditional breaking news: I contributed in New York to coverage of the 9/11 attacks and the 2008 financial collapse, filed features from New Orleans before and after Hurricane Katrina, and reported from Chicago on the night of the most recent presidential election. Much of my independent journalism focuses on urban, immigrant, and international culture. As a freelancer, I’ve filed stories from Venice to Mumbai to Phnom Penh.
For links to a few of my recent features, please scroll down the page. You can stream or download any of my radio stories/MP3s by clicking on the links (NPR, PRI/BBC, etc.) that follow the YouTube and Vimeo clips on this page.
