Where I Have Been

Where I Am Going

I’m a Journalist and Anthropologist with a passion for storytelling, photography and exploring the world. I was inducted into the Phi Beta Kappa Society and graduated from NYU magna cum laude. I wrote, reported, photographed and edited articles for multiple outlets including Haaretz, the New York Daily News, CamboJA, and Africa Dispatch. I reported in Cambodia, India, Ghana, China, Israel, and the US, studied abroad at NYU Shanghai and NYU Tel Aviv and conducted archeological field work in South Africa’s remote Namaqualand. I surveyed and salvaged looted burial mounds in Mongolia’s Darkhad Depression before mapping stone tool scatters in the northern taiga for my Honors Anthropology senior research. I am Wilderness First Responder Certified backed up by extensive backcountry experience, including Nepal’s Dolpo region and Patagonia.

While interning at Haaretz, I reported, wrote, photographed, and published articles on archeological finds from around the world. One of my articles was mentioned in the Smithsonian Magazine and one had to compete with National Geographic, still not sure who won. I recently finished working in Phnom Penh with CamboJA, thanks to the support of the Overseas Press Club Foundation’s Stan Swinton Scholarship. While primarily covering environmental conservation and indigenous rights, I found the first public document exposing a Human Rights Watch investigation into a REDD+ project in Cambodia’s Southern Cardamom Mountains. This article is third most read of all time, according to CamboJA site statistics. I am currently gaining moutaineering, expedition planning, ice travel and rescue experience in Patagonia, preparing for a career working in the world’s most remote and challenging environments.
