Business & Crypto Reporter
About
For years, I covered crypto at Decrypt — from Wall Street's cautious embrace of stablecoins to the controversial rise of prediction markets and the trial of FTX co-founder Sam Bankman-Fried. Previously, my work has appeared in The New York Times, the Daily News, and Coinage.
When I'm not breaking down market trends or interviewing C-suite executives, I'm usually digging through legal documents and SEC disclosures. I bridge shoe-leather journalism with tech, whether that involves cultivating sources, picking up my camera or backing words with data.
I cut my media chops at Baruch College before studying business and economics reporting — with a specialization in data journalism — at the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism. And I'm using that grit, along with a pulse on the press, to drive storytelling.
