I’m an independent journalist based in San Francisco who explores different facets of inequality. I tell narrative stories about how systems impact marginalized communities, and I’m especially interested in how social determinants of health affect people’s psychology, economic mobility and life outcomes. I write nuanced, complex pieces that put people’s stories in the context of broader trends and social policy. I strive to be a trauma-informed interviewer, and delight in stories about solutions.
I typically cover the intersection of housing, economic hardship, healthcare and disability. My work has appeared in publications including The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Guardian, the San Francisco Chronicle and California Health Report, among others.
