About
I have over a decade of experience working in a fast-paced news environment. When I’m not on the road reporting, I produce and host live news shows, edit podcasts, commission stories, manage the day’s news coverage and write features on politics, diplomacy, urbanism and culture.
I cover a broad range of topics and regions: I have reported from liberated parts of Ukraine, global diplomatic gatherings such as COP27 in Egypt or the World Economic Forum in Davos, to leading design fair Salone del Mobile in Milan and the Frankfurt Book Fair. In 2019, I was dispatched to Los Angeles to setup Monocle’s new bureau in North America and develop the brand’s ongoing international expansion.
I am a regular speaker at conferences and events, with a focus on media, urbanism and making our cities better places to live in.
