Current: Editorial Fellow at Axios (2023-2024)
Previous: Data and visual journalist at CTV News, data reporter at The Puget Sound Business Journal, markets and economics contributor at TheStreet.com, financial writer at Seeking Alpha and tech/AI writer at VentureBeat.
Education: MSc. in International Banking and Finance from the University of Durham, England and an MBA in Finance from ICFAI Business School, India.
Working paper: “The role of credit rating agencies in the Eurozone Debt Crisis” — Global Credit Review and University of Singapore.
Deep dive: Before joining Axios (my work at Axios is highlighted in my resume), I worked as a data and visuals journalist at CTV News-National in Toronto, covering a wide range of stories— from hidden COVID-19 fatalities and rising Omicron numbers to immigration backlogs, soaring inflation and climate change. I am comfortable with mapping tools and have created multimedia interactives through ESRI’s GIS interface such as “50 Years Later: Expulsion from Uganda” and “Canadian skies turn lethal for migratory birds.”
Our coverage of immigration backlogs and long wait times gained national attention, pushing authorities to fasten processing times through a special tracker for applicants to track their applications.
Before CTV News, I worked for The Puget Sound Business Journal(PSBJ), one of the 44 local markets of American City Business Journals, for about 2.5 years.
As a data reporter, I covered special sections for the paper such as the economy of food trucks, the pandemic impact on small businesses, financial aid during the pandemic and supply chain disruption. Our 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.
I also managed the local database to produce our weekly ranked lists of 25-50 regional businesses, published as the Annual Book of Lists at the end of each year.
Earlier in my career, I covered financial topics for The Street in 2013 for 2.5 years, writing extensively on stock markets, earnings reports, the Federal Reserve, interest rates, campaign finance, Brexit and personal finance.
My analysis of the company’s earnings and valuations on companies such as Amazon, Facebook, and Snap were featured as premium content for Seeking Alpha readers.
My bylines are in Reuters, Yahoo Finance, and MSN Money.
