From 2016 to 2018, I was part of a team of journalists who crafted news, opinions, and insights concerning groundbreaking answers to global inequality for MercyCorps. Our website, Global Envisions, included on the ground reporting, research, and interviewing, all while creating weekly news pieces. This involved pieces of technical information (often involving structural analysis) and then clarifying them for a larger readership. Our team was also involved in the backend mechanics of the website.
Global Envisions was transitioned in 2018 to place emphasis on video content. I’ve chosen three stories (two of which remain editors picks) for perusal here. Click on the image, which links to each document.
Also available is a recent essay I’ve written for Parapraxis Magazine, set to be published in July 2023.
