About: I’ve been with The Globe and Mail for more than nine years. I started as an intern and was lucky enough to be hired on as a graphics editor before realizing my true passion was for reporting. My first bylines were for an odd smattering of stories, many of which had a data analysis component. Later on I reported on the criminal justice system before eventually joining the investigations team. My most recent work has examined Canada’s broken freedom of information systems, the finances of the Catholic Church and systemic racism in the federal prison system. I enjoy the challenge of quickly trying to become an expert on a topic, and I start most of my investigative projects knowing close to nothing about the topic I’m examining. I’ve always felt drawn to stories that grapple with the thorny, unspoken challenges of doing accountability reporting.
