A Failing System
It’s the legal system’s worst-kept secret: When it comes to prosecuting rape and sexual offending, justice is eluding us. Research and statistics – a lot of them – prove this. For example, it is estimated that only 9% of sexual offences are brought to the attention of police in New Zealand.

By way of a law degree, a debaucherous student magazine (critic.co.nz) and an Indonesian newspaper (thejakartaglobe.com), I graduated in 2014 from the Master of Science program at Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism.

I was a fellow at Columbia's Stabile Center for Investigative Journalism and use this training to apply investigative source-building, data journalism and research skills to general reporting.

After completing the Reuters Journalism Program as a trainee in Jakarta and a short stint in Sydney, I worked in New Zealand covering a national election, natural disasters, the March 15th 2019 mosque attacks, and China's rise in the Pacific.

I am now based in Islamabad where I cover a mix of politics, security and economics in Pakistan and Afghanistan for Reuters.
