About

I am a highly-organized researcher and reporter skilled with information collection, synthesis, and contextualization, with experience investigating and covering US trade legislation, litigation, and disputes. In the last two years, I have written hundreds of stories for MLex Market Insight, covering and contextualizing US trade court cases, duty investigations, and duty evasion investigations. I have also written stories covering international trade negotiations and agreements from the US perspective, and US trade disputes at the World Trade Organization and under the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement.

I am also experienced in historical research, with a passion for investigating and contextualizing historical events, finding connections between the past and present, and translating academic research into public-facing presentations. I hold a Master's degree in history and a Master's degree in journalism, and both degrees have augmented my excellent oral and written communication skills and helped develop my ability to conduct in-depth and highly detailed long-term research and write focused, current and succinct stories.
