I am a London-based news journalist for CNN, covering the EMEA region. I previously worked for NBC News, also in London, and as a freelance reporter my articles have been published in The Economist, The Times, The Independent, London Evening Standard, Mail Online, and The Scotsman.

In my previous life I have been a concert pianist and performed across the globe, including the Bolshoi Hall in Moscow.

Culture vulture, linguist, pug lover for life.
