I am a journalist who specializes in technology and the ways it affects people’s lives and rights.

My writing has appeared in The New York Times, The Guardian, Quartz, Slate, Coda Story, and Americas Quarterly. Stories I’ve edited have won recognition from the Society of Professional Journalists, the Fetisov Journalism Awards, and the Orwell Foundation among others.

I co-chair the board of directors of Monument Lab and serve on the advisory council of the Open Technology Fund. I currently work with Meedan and occasionally edit stories for The Conversation and Hyphen. I am a co-author of Auditing AI, forthcoming from MIT Press in April 2026.

I am a former fellow at Harvard University’s Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society and an alumna of the University of Chicago’s Harris School. From 2014-2019, I ran the Advox project at Global Voices, supporting a team of bloggers, journalists and activists from around the world who worked together to cover censorship, surveillance, and political rights in the digital age. I’ve also worked as senior editor at Coda Story, project director at Ranking Digital Rights, and policy analyst at the Center for Democracy & Technology.

I don’t do much blogging these days, but I occasionally pipe up on BlueSky and LinkedIn. In real life, you can usually find me in Philadelphia.
