I’m an editor, writer, and audio producer in New York City. My work has appeared in PRI’s The World, Deutsche Welle, Guernica, Politics/Letters, Public Books, The Chronicle of Higher Education, and several NPR stations. I currently work as the assistant director of the Graduate Writing Studio at Columbia University. Previously, I spent eight years as an editor and journalist in the US, Liberia, and South Sudan. I earned my BA from Swarthmore College in 2009 and spent the following year exploring radio and reconciliation in post-conflict societies around the world as a Thomas J. Watson Fellow. In 2021, I completed a doctorate in English and comparative literature at Columbia University, where my research focused on the literature and reportage of the Nigeria-Biafra war (1967-1970).
