More migrants coming to the U.S. have turned to New York’s land border with Canada. For smugglers in the region, that's proved a lucrative business opportunity.
For the @timesunion, I investigated the rise of human smuggling in New York’s rural north.

Been working on a fun piece recently!

Really proud of my latest for the @nytimes: Black equestrians with natural hair struggle to find helmets that fit. It’s a huge barrier for inclusivity but also dangerous —horseback riding is one of the leading causes of sports-related TBIs. nytimes.com/2023/03/03/sport…

How to have a successful and sustained career in journalism
ALT A photo of a pigeon walking on snow. Her little saguaro cactus-shaped foot imprints are seen all over in winding paths on the snowy ground in this bird’s eye view (heh). She does not know where she is going, but she’s having a good time. Staying in her lane. Thriving.

For years, anti-abortion crisis pregnancy centers have gamed SEO to make sure that Google searches for abortion information surface their sites.
After Roe v. Wade fell, abortion rights supporters are trying to up their online game. @jenniferagerson

Rice University mechanical engineers have figured out how to repurpose deceased spiders as mechanical grippers—allowing them to blend into natural environments while picking up objects, like other insects that outweigh them.
