I'm a journalist and climate change storyteller. As a reporter, editor and newsletter writer I take complex topics and turning them into human stories anyone can grasp, and I love working with young journalists across the world to develop other great climate change storytellers.
I created and for 14 years ran the Thomson Reuters Foundation's award-winning daily news website on the human impacts of a warming planet, recruiting and managing a team of developing world freelance writers in sub-Saharan Africa, Asia and Latin America, many of them in the most climate-vulnerable parts of the globe. Together we told the stories of climate change from the front lines.
Prior to coming to the Thomson Reuters Foundation, I was a foreign correspondent for the Chicago Tribune newspaper based for 15 years in Brazil, Cuba, Mexico, South Africa, India and the UK, with substantial time spent as well in Afghanistan and Iraq. I have in-depth experience working in more than 80 countries worldwide, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia and Latin America.
