I'm a
data reporter at ProPublica, where I pair quantitative analysis with traditional investigative reporting techniques to expose abuses of power and betrayals of the public trust. My recent work has focused on investigating the ways that the wealthiest Americans use the stock market to further enrich themselves. I've also explored systemic inequities in the U.S. tax code that enable these same individuals to avoid paying federal income taxes. As part of a team of reporters behind “The Secret IRS Files,” our reporting helped spark a national conversation on taxes and led multiple U.S. senators and representatives to call for an overhaul of the tax system. I've also covered issues related to housing and debt for ProPublica, with a particular focus on evictions.
