I’m a freelance journalist, TV producer and storyteller with an anthropology MA, hoping to master the art of public interest muckraking in HD.
My work has appeared in The Guardian, Al Jazeera English, The Nation, New York Times, Christian Science Monitor, Radio France International, The Toronto Star, the Montreal Gazette, Haiti Liberte, Briar Patch, The Media Co-op, among others. I’ve also worked for Frontline PBS, Reuters TV, BBC and Rolling Stones.
Currently based in Montreal, I spent over a year in post-earthquake Haiti, investigating post-earthquake aid gone wrong, tent camp evictions, problematic peacekeeping, photo-op philanthropists, disaster capitalists, corrupt elections, the cholera epidemic, the paramilitaries, the return from exile of former dictator and ousted leaders, and other stories from carnivals to junkyards to the mansions in the hills.
I’m a polyglot, a migrant and I occasionally sells paintings and drawings.

Isabeau!
Just want to say how IMPRESSED Elliot and I are with your blog, your photos, your articles, and what you are doing with your life. Your father would have been VERY proud. So keep going, stay safe, and when you need respite from it all, please come see us in Abercorn. We have a little guest room in the trees waiting for you.
