      Stars and Stripes is print and online publication that provides independent news and information to the U.S. military community stationed overseas.

I developed an extensive network of sources and a first-hand knowledge of U.S. military operations and culture. Working and traveling independently in austere and dangerous environments, I focused on being at the right places to tell the most impactful stories. Show less
