I am a seasoned journalist with a decade of experience writing about a broad range of issues for U.S. and global news outlets. Early on in my career, I focused on business, social justice and the media industry, but at the moment I mostly write about EU policy, tech regulation and legal activism. I’ve written for leading business titles like Bloomberg Tax and Law.com International, for specialised publications like The Parliament and International Politics & Society, as well as for more generalist outlets like The New European, Deutsche Welle, EUObserver and USA Today. I’m a graduate of Columbia’s Graduate School of Journalism. I also occasionally write articles in Dutch.
