I chase scoops and write investigations on the big banks, hedge funds, quant trading firms, and other corners of Wall Street.

I'm a senior correspondent at Business Insider, where I've spent nearly a decade covering Wall Street at large. My work sits at the intersection of power, money, and public interest, including untangling the inner workings of multibillion-dollar hedge funds and investigating allegations of abuse in the finance industry's talent pipeline. I thrive on pursuing transparency and accountability — exposing misconduct, following the money, and telling the stories that the most powerful institutions in finance would rather keep quiet.

Prior to Business Insider, I covered billionaires and their businesses as a staff reporter at Forbes Magazine. My career in journalism began in Wisconsin, where I got my start as editor in chief of The Daily Cardinal — UW-Madison's daily student newspaper — followed by the Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the Green Bay Press-Gazette, and the Associated Press.
