About Me
I was born in Chapel Hill, North Carolina in 1982. Since leaving the United States in 2008, I‘ve lived in Switzerland, Sierra Leone, the United Kingdom, Kenya and France, my current home, where I‘m finally growing some roots. I‘m a regular contributor to The New York Times, and my work has also been published by The Guardian, The Washington Post, and the BBC, among other outlets.
