I am a freelance journalist who covers North Africa. I regularly contribute to The New York Times, Al Jazeera English, Foreign Policy, the Financial Times, USA Today, Bloomberg among others. I grew up in Marrakesh and moved to New York City at the age of 18. I got my BA in Media Studies from Hunter College in 2006 and my Masters in Journalism from Columbia University in 2009.
I am also a member of Associated Reporters Abroad and on the advisory board of the 2014 Peabody Award winner Round Earth Media.
