Who I Am:
I'm an investigative journalist with a PhD in Modern European History. I am interested in anti-fascism and physical culture in my journalistic work as well as my academic work. These days, I cover conflict and the border and take a special interest in the revolution in Myanmar and Kurdish freedom movement. I try and tell stories about migrants, not about numbers.
My writing and photography has been featured in print and online in publications such as National Geographic, Wall Street Journal, Esquire, Smithsonian, Lapham’s Quarterly, Undark, and The Appeal.
I'm British, but I live in the US. I speak Spanish, Catalan, French, and several kinds of English depending on my mood.
I used to be a bike racer; now I just go outside every day and I like to share stories with other people.
I have won some journalism awards, including first place in the California Journalism Awards transportation writing category, and a shared first-pace in the General Excellence category of the Northwest SPJ awards.
