I’m currently the head of fact-checking at Rest of World, and previously worked at Al Jazeera’s Fault Lines and Type Investigations. I have provided original research and advanced investigations into the criminal legal system, the environment, and sexual abuse within institutions.

At Rest of World, I fact-check features and enterprise projects, manage a roster of freelance fact-checkers, and train the newsroom in verification practices.

Previously, I was the associate producer at Fault Lines, where I tracked down public documents and obtained records through creative use of FOIA and state sunshine laws. I located people who became the subjects of Fault Lines episodes and interviewed dozens of individuals whose lives were affected by human rights abuses. I was also the show’s fact-checker and digital producer: overseeing the program’s online publishing process, editing trailer-style videos using Adobe Premiere, organizing online events, and running our social media accounts.

I provided extensive reporting and research for two documentaries that were nominated for 2022 News & Documentary Emmys, and I was the associate producer for “Buried Truths: America’s Indigenous boarding schools,” which was recognized with awards from the Native American Journalists Association and the Society of Professional Journalists.

I have professional working proficiency in French and am a passive bilingual Russian speaker with conversational skills in the language (I actually made a short documentary about what that means).
