A global journalist connecting people, places and ideas

I’m an Italy-based reporter with The Daily Beast covering law, politics, culture and the occasional scientific discovery. Previously, I was on the environmental and tax policy beats for Bloomberg, covered the Covid-19 pandemic for the Los Angeles Times, and contributed photos, articles and essays to The Los Angeles Review of Books, Business Insider, The Columbia Journalism Review and more.

My first book, Breaking the Surface: The Extraordinary Life of Honor Frost and the Dawn of Underwater Archaeology, is forthcoming from St. Martin’s Press.

Originally from Indiana, I lived in California for nearly a decade before moving to Italy on a Fulbright fellowship. I earned my B.A. in journalism from the University of Southern California and my J.D. from Loyola Law School, Los Angeles.
