I am a post- graduate fellow at the Investigative Reporting Workshop with a master’s degree in International Studies and a graduate certificate in Data Science from American University, and am an alumnus of Columbia Journalism School’s Lede Program for Data Journalism. I was recently selected for the Albritton Journalism Institute fellowship, where I will focus on political and policy reporting for NOTUS

I began my journalism career blogging in English and Farsi for an international nonprofit in Afghanistan, where I’m from. I have reported for HuffPost, covering daily news, immigration, and Afghanistan, and contributed to numerous investigative stories at IRW, with a focus on housing issues in Washington, D.C., and immigration.
