A data and financial journalist simplifying complex economic jargons through data story telling compelling visuals.
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.
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 and my background
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. The dual perspective has pushed me to connect oil data to geopolitics & climate and not just markets.
Body of work
- 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 trying out fresh flavors.
