I'm a die hard investigative journo specialising in health and human rights stories. My 'claim to fame' was my six month investigation into Tower Psychiatric Hospital in Fort Beaufort. My investigations culminating in the production of a two-part documentary series, "The Writing on the Wall", co-produced with Health-e News. The documentary debuted on eNCA's Checkpoint in June. I'm originally from Southern California but moved to South Africa four years ago to pursue conflict journalism. I love pastries, coffee, red wine and leaked documents!
