I am a researcher, journalist, and copy editor who has had the privilege of contributing to the work done by publications like Business Insider, Axios and The Nation magazine.
Where possible, I try to explore the intersection between human rights and technology.
As a freelance fact-checker, I have worked with several authors on a variety of subjects, including books on U.S. politics and history.
