I am a freelance journalist based in Montreal. In the past, I’ve reported in New York City, Miami, and San Francisco. I hold a Master of Science in Journalism from Columbia University, where I trained in investigative journalism, data journalism and foreign correspondence. I write in English and in French, and my work has appeared in a variety of Canadian and American outlets, including the Associated Press, Documented, Mission Local, the Miami Times, and Columbia News Service.
