What I Cover
I have been reporting on changes to reproductive health care access since Roe v. Wade was overturned.
I regularly speak with doctors, patients, researchers, community workers and lawmakers to better understand how maternal health care has been affected by abortion restrictions. Learn more about how ProPublica covers maternal health and how to get in touch.
My Background
I joined ProPublica as a national reporter in 2022. Since then, I have investigated the consequences of state abortion bans for people facing life-threatening pregnancy complications, including uncovering deaths that could have been prevented, and a rise in maternal sepsis rates in Texas after the state banned abortion.
The reporting led to a federal investigation and spurred lawmakers in multiple states to file bills expanding abortion access. I interviewed experts across the country to help create a guide on the medical procedures that could save your life during a pregnancy loss.
My reporting has taken me inside a hospital abortion committee and a private meeting between anti-abortion activists urging Republican lawmakers not to change a strict ban.
I also spent a year partnering with a photographer to document one family’s struggle to navigate Tenneessee’s social safety net after being denied an abortion for a life-threatening pregnancy.
Before joining ProPublica, I reported on housing, law enforcement and health care inequality at the Tampa Bay Times and BuzzFeed News. I was previously a 2018 fellow at ProPublica covering immigration.
I got my start in international journalism. I interned at the Associated Press in Rome and was a fellow at Foreign Policy magazine. I speak Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and French, and I’ve reported from Italy, Germany, Rwanda, Colombia and Senegal.
