Author and journalist telling stories at the front lines of science and democracy.

I most recently served as a fellow/journalist-in-residence at The Century Foundation, a progressive think tank in Washington, D.C. My book, The Long Haul: How Long Covid Survivors Are Revolutionizing Healthcare, will be available in paperback March 5, 2024 through MIT Press and distributed by Penguin Random House.

I began at CNN in 2015 and served as a science and health features writer during the COVID-19 pandemic. Before joining CNN, I directed, produced, and wrote a feature-length documentary, Forgotten Plague, which the Huffington Post called a "Must-See Documentary." I have also written for The Guardian, the Daily Beast, USA Today, STAT News, and Business Insider.

I am a five-time Stanford Medicine X ePatient Scholar. I also sit on the board of directors of the #MEAction Network. I graduated Phi Beta Kappa from UGA with degrees in English and international affairs, and was named to the school's 40 Under 40 list for 2018.
