ABOUT ME

I am the Paris Bureau Chief for US news agency Feature Story News. A fluent Spanish and French speaker, I have more than 10 years’ experience working in live TV, radio, and digital news.

I have covered the war in Ukraine with several reporting trips inside the country. I reported from Israel in the aftermath of the Hamas attacks in October 2023. In 2023 I also reported from India covering President Macron’s Indo-Pacific strategy.

I was on the Hungary-Ukraine border in 2022 to cover the Ukrainian refugee crisis, and in London in 2022 reporting on Queen Elizabeth’s death and funeral.

I was in Italy in 2020 to report on the first country to impose a nationwide coronavirus lockdown. I covered anti-government protests in Moscow in 2019.

Based in France, I inform, explain, and interpret French politics, economics, and culture, and wider European news for a range of international broadcast clients. When I’m not at work you will probably find me up a mountain or wild-swimming!
