I'm a data journalist trained at Cardiff University's School of Journalism, Media, and Culture (JOMEC). Passionate about storytelling, my work utilizes data to identify trends, and also focuses on the humans behind the numbers.
Currently, I work as a private equity reporter for With Intelligence, focusing on fund launches, closes, strategy, new shops, and people moves.
Prior to that, I was a real estate reporter for REFI, now known as With Intelligence Real Estate. I also briefly worked at Fund Directions, another With publication, covering SEC regulation impacting mutual funds and ETFs for a fund board audience.
Before moving to the UK, I was based in Mumbai where I was a news producer with Business Television India (BTVI) for two years. I've also had brief stints at Business Insider, BBC India, Arré, and Better Photography magazine.
