I am a data and financial journalist who explains complex economic and policy issues through clear analysis and compelling visuals. My work focuses on trade, markets, technology and the forces shaping the global economy.
I currently work as a data journalist at American City Business Journals.
Previously, I was an Editorial Fellow at Axios and have reported and produced visual journalism for CTV News, Quartz, The Puget Sound Business Journal, TheStreet and VentureBeat.
My reporting combines data analysis, visualization and storytelling to make complex topics accessible. Coverage of Canada’s immigration backlog at CTV News drew national attention and helped accelerate processing reforms, while my visual investigations have explored subjects ranging from global migration to environmental risk.
I hold an MSc. in International Banking and Finance from Durham University in England and an MBA in Finance from ICFAI Business School in India. That’s one reason why I love statistical analysis and numbers.
I also wrote a working paper titled “The role of credit rating agencies in the Eurozone Debt Crisis” for Global Credit Review and the University of Singapore.
I enjoy experimenting with new tools and formats, from GIS-based interactives to chart-driven storytelling, to help audiences better understand the numbers behind the news.
Reporting style
My reporting spans public health, immigration policy, global finance and the economic forces shaping communities. I’m drawn to investigative stories behind the numbers-much of which connects back to my academic background and my deep curiosity for numbers. (yes I love stats!)
My interest in oil reporting, however, is personal. My father worked on oil rigs in the Gulf region, spending months away from home and he would bring back stories that shaped my early understanding of the oil and gas industry.
Today, my sister advocates for climate action, and our conversations often explore the environmental cost of those same energy systems. That dual perspective pushes me to connect oil data to geopolitics and climate, not just markets.
- At CTV News, I reported on Canada’s immigration backlogs. My coverage drew national attention and helped prompt the creation of a government tracker that allowed applicants to monitor processing times. I also produced multimedia and GIS-driven interactives using ESRI tools, including “50 Years Later: Expulsion from Uganda” and “Canadian Skies Turning Lethal for Migratory Birds“, combining geographic analysis with narrative reporting.
- At Axios, I contributed to business and markets coverage, producing data-driven visuals and analysis designed to explain complex economic trends through Smart Brevity.
- At Quartz, I worked on visual and data-driven storytelling projects, translating global economic and policy developments into accessible insights for a broad audience.
- At the Puget Sound Business Journal, I covered the regional economy, including growth of food trucks in the region, pandemic impact on small businesses, financial aid and supply chain disruption. My special coverage of the underreported cases at long-term care facilities during the pandemic led to a county-level dashboard to track COVID-19 cases daily.
- Earlier in my career at TheStreet , I wrote extensively on stock markets, earnings reports, the Federal Reserve, interest rates, campaign finance, Brexit and personal finance.
- Simultaneously I also wrote exclusive pieces for Seeking Alpha readers, focused on BigTech such as Amazon, Facebook and Snap.
My bylines have appeared in Reuters, Yahoo Finance, The Independent and MSN Money.
Outside work: I enjoy traveling, sketching and doing yoga. My current passion is studying nutritional science and how what we eat impact everything around and within us!
Since I grew up in multiple countries, I enjoy meeting people, exploring new cultures and fresh flavors.
