I write long-form stories and dabble in 3-5 minute web and radio documentaries. I like ordinary people with extraordinary lives. 

I won the Human Rights Reporting award for a book on the detention of 33 young Iranian women; reported from the glamorous city of Milan on unglamorous political scandals; spent a summer at a neo-fascist summer camp; and unearthed long-lost Mediterranean traditions.

My work has appeared in The New York Times, BBC World Service, The Independent, The New Statesman, Public Radio International, Vice, the Smithsonian Magazine and other - equally prestigious - news outlets. 

I live in London, and yes, I have plans for more books.
