This May I graduated from the University of Southern California’s Annenberg School of Journalism with an M.A. in Print Journalism. Two years earlier I graduated with a B.A. in International Relations from USC.

Over the past few years I’ve worked for the Cape Times in South Africa, National Geographic Feature Films, KCRW Radio, the Pasadena Weekly and the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Co-Operation. In the future I hope to work as a foreign correspondent.
