Tell us about yourself

I’m an investigative reporter focused on the federal government, including the Department of Homeland Security and the Internal Revenue Service. I’ve worked as an investigative reporter for over a decade, and I have often focused on stories involving technology and national security. I’m seeking to report on complex and nuanced stories that the public has a right to know about.
While at ProPublica I’ve reported on the Department of Government Efficiency and an unprecedented data-sharing arrangement between the DHS and IRS.
I have previously worked at WIRED, Bloomberg News and Vice.
At Wired, I reported on Charlie Kirk’s plans to discredit Martin Luther King Jr. and the Civil Rights Act. My reporting also revealed that a shadowy company was registering thousands of companies across America using fake personas.
At Bloomberg I focused on cybersecurity, where I revealed how flaws in virtually every major tech company were exploited to obtain information used in extortion schemes involving minors. I also reported from the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
I live in New York City.
