Journalism

I’m a former investigative journalist and photographer based in Venezuela nearly a decade during the worst of its humanitarian crisis. I worked too across the Americas and Middle East with everyone from the New Yorker and New York Times to Time Magazine and Reuters, where I was a Senior Correspondent.

My entire body of work is online here.

I undertook major investigations, including showing that the results of a national Venezuelan election were fabricated; secrets about the country’s military; that the country’s Chief Justice was arrested on suspicion of murder; and high-level, multi-billion dollar corruption at Venezuela’s state oil company.

I have idealistic goals of what investigative journalism should be, and the tremendous impact it can have on society if done correctly. However, I've seen firsthand that the industry rarely displays the competence and integrity needed to achieve those goals.

My experiences in journalism led me to write my first book, Always Go.
