I’ve specialized in immigration, diverse communities, social justice and terrorism reporting. I was a Freelance Correspondent for CBS News. In 2018, I went to cover the war in Syria. I was an Investigative Reporter at KSTP-TV, Investigative Reporter/Anchor in St. Louis, Omaha, and on the U.S.-Mexico border. I was born in Africa, went to school in London and Canada. Some of my most memorable and impactful stories include a worldwide exclusive interview with a terrorist convicted for helping ISIS and I was the only reporter in the Midwest, one of few in the U.S. to cover immigration, the travel ban, terrorism and the worst famine and drought since World War 2 in Kenya and Somalia. I’ve also covered riots and protests in Ferguson and reported on cartels, guns, drugs, money, undocumented children, sex trafficking and immigration on the U.S. Mexico border. I travelled to Pakistan in 2013 during Taliban violence and to The Balkans to understand the largest Bosnian population in St. Louis. My reports won numerous awards including Murrows and Emmys.
