Reporting


As a reporter, I’ve interviewed executives, scientists, legal and public policy experts, and lots of ordinary people just doing their thing. I’ve covered the corporate finance and mental health beats and reported stories on the Covid-19 pandemic, the Supreme Court, and local politics. My work has appeared in NPR, Forbes, Morning Brew, KFF Health News, Al Jazeera, and the Star Tribune.

As a researcher, I’ve dug into healthcare prices for a nonprofit investigating medical costs and vetted candidates for Forbes’ 30 Under 30 and Next 1,000 lists.
