My Story

I’m an investigative journalist whose work has had real impact.
 

I uncovered elite investors who were paying medical researchers for secrets on drug trials, a scheme that became part of the largest insider-trading prosecution in US history.
 

I exposed an illegal payday lending business secretly being run by a professional racecar driver. He defrauded 4.5 million desperate Americans of billions of dollars and is now serving a lengthy prison sentence. You can see me retell that story in the Payday episode of Netflix’s Dirty Money.

​

I’m a three-time Pulitzer Prize finalist for work I did with others. I’ve won some of the most prestigious awards in journalism, including Harvard’s Goldsmith Prize, the George Polk award and the Gerald Loeb award. I was a reporter on a PBS Frontline documentary that was nominated for a national Emmy.
 

My work has appeared on PBS Frontline, the CBS Evening News, CNN, the Huffington Post, the Daily Beast, TheAtlantic.com, Time.com, MotherJones.com, USA Today, ScientificAmerican.com and ViceNews.com.
