About Me
I'm currently a Knight-Bagehot Fellow at Columbia University. Considered the "most comprehensive and rigorous business journalism fellowship in the world," the fellowship offers the opportunity to delve deeper into the world of business. In other words, this history major is taking classes on economics, accounting, and capital markets for the first time alongside MBA students at Columbia Business School.
Previously, I worked as a senior correspondent at Business Insider. In this role, I published investigations on topics ranging from a sandwich giant's financial spiral to exploitation at a trendy teen retailer to a fake Birkin socialite scandal.
My exposé on Dan Schneider's empire inspired the 2024 Investigation Discovery docuseries "Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV." I served as an executive producer for the five-part docuseries, which became Max's most successful title ever and was nominated for an Emmy in the category of Outstanding Documentary Or Nonfiction Series. I also served as a consultant for and appeared in HBO's "Brandy Hellville & the Cult of Fast Fashion," which heavily featured my investigation into the brand.
My reporting on volatile real estate heir Stefan Solviev won a Silver Medal in NAREE’s 2023 Annual Real Estate Journalism Awards and my investigation into the toxic culture on "America's Next Top Model" won second place in Entertainment Industry/Arts Investigative Reporting from the Los Angeles Press Club.
Prior to joining Business Insider's features team in 2021, I reported on the business of retail and fast food, covering topics such as systemic racism in McDonald's franchise system, turmoil at Subway, and the bizarre saga of MyPillow. I also participated in Red Lobster's Endless Shrimp promotion three years in a row.
