I've spent nearly two decades working on safety and security issues for journalists and civil society workers.

Most recently, I worked as the program lead for a major philanthropy's grantee safety program, where I interfaced with hundreds of civil society organizations worldwide. In this role, I launched and organized the popular Cybersecurity Academy and wrote and edited the Cybersecurity Assessment Tool.

For more than ten years, I've served as a strategic lead at GJS, a leading provider of high-risk training for journalists and humanitarian groups. As part of this work, I've helped design and implement trainings for more than 2,000 individual trainees across North and South America, Eastern Europe, Asia, and sub-Saharan Africa. I was also the lead coordinator for the Steven Sotloff 2Lives Memorial Training Fund, which provided no-cost safety training to freelance journalists for three years.

During my time at GJS, I've also developed a downloadable travel security risk tool.

I've consulted with organizations including the Global Investigative Journalism Network, where I helped develop the Journalist Security Assessment Tool and authored a chapter on security in their Investigating War Crimes guide.

A writer by trade, my work has appeared in the Los Angeles Times, where I was a correspondent from 2014 to 2017, as well as The Week, the Baltimore Sun, the Chicago Tribune, the San Francisco Chronicle, and KQED. I've consulted on content projects for organizations including the National Park Service, the Museum of the Moving Image, Smart Design, and Contrast DesignWorks.
