I am a journalist based in Hong Kong, where I edit world news on the Financial Times Asia news desk and occasionally write. Previously, I wrote the Europe/Africa edition of FirstFT, our essential morning news briefing, which reached about 77,000 readers daily.
Before that, I reported for TIME's Asia bureau, where I contributed to the 2018 Person of the Year package: The Guardians and the War on the Truth, among other features, including for the magazine cover.
I have covered Southeast Asia as a reporter, editor and photographer for eight years, reporting from Hong Kong, Singapore, Myanmar, Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand and Bangladesh for international and local media.
As the Online Editor at The Myanmar Times, I drove live coverage of Myanmar's historic 2015 election — the first democratic poll in 25 years — to record readership, and oversaw a website redesign.
I focus on the people who shape the worlds of news, politics, business and culture.
