Correspondent, Public Radio International
I'm a reporter with the public radio program "The World," a joint production of Public Radio International and the BBC World Service. We are a one-hour daily broadcast throughout the United States and Canada. Our stories are also broadcast internationally by the World Service.
I focus primarily on stories about global business and economics, but have also covered topics including US foreign policy and politics, climate change, agriculture, and immigration reform. I began working at The World full-time back in 2006. Since then, I’ve reported from more than 20 countries and 30 US states.
I’ve also been a reporter with KQED Public Radio in its Sacramento bureau, The Seattle Times newspaper, MarketWatch in San Francisco, and NPR’s business desk. I have a master’s degree in journalism from the University of California at Berkeley and a bachelor’s degree in history from UCLA.
During the 2014-15 academic year, I was selected as a Knight-Wallace fellow at the University of Michigan where I joined a small group of domestic and international journalists to take a year of study. I focused my learning on climate change policies and science, as well as business sustainability practices and urban planning.
