I started writing a story for The Guardian about female taxidermists, and ending up finding a much deeper tale about the thin margin between life and death. As one taxidermist told me: “You have to realize that everyone is going to become flesh and bones." theguardian.com/us-news/articl…

Late to the game on sharing this, but I wrote a story for The Guardian about how aid groups are responding to Biden's new immigration order. Many are worried the order will sow confusion among asylum seekers. One expert called it "devoid of due process." theguardian.com/us-news/articl…

My latest story for the The Guardian — reporting that included hiking near the U.S.-Mexico border wall with a local nonprofit. From what I saw, a lot has changed in these remote borderlands since I first wrote about the group in 2024. The Sunday Long Read theguardian.com/us-news/2025/m…
