I’m an award-winning multimedia reporter and senior editor with the Voice of America’s Africa Division, covering the latest news from across the continent.
Previously, I worked with VOA’s News Center. I report and edit in English, Amharic and Tigrigna, and my work has appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Tampa Bay Times and Foreign Policy magazine. I also produce data-driven multimedia projects. My work focused on journalism innovation and fact-checking initiatives has appeared in the Columbia Journalism Review, on Poynter Online and Harvard’s Nieman Journalism Lab, and I have taught advanced reporting at the University of South Florida’s Department of Journalism and Digital Communication.
