I'm a researcher working on the Cybersecurity 202 and Technology 202 newsletters at The Washington Post. I'm also studying investigative journalism as a student in American University's Journalism and Public Affairs master's program.
I previously worked at Al-Monitor, a news organization covering the Middle East and North Africa, from 2016 to 2020. In 2020, I received a Best in Business Award from the Society of American Business Editors and Writers (SABEW) for our newsletter on Middle East lobbying.
