I'm the Executive Director of Opinion Video & Op-Docs at The New York Times, where I've produced films that have won an Oscar Award, Emmy Awards and the Pulitzer Prize. I invented Opinion Video in 2018, and our films have since won the Academy Award and seven Emmys. Previously at The Times, I was a digital strategist, manager, and foreign correspondent/reporter, focused on international human rights in video and print. I have reported from dozens of nations, including North Korea, Iran, and Sudan. I was also a co-author of The Innovation Report, which led to major digital reforms at the newspaper. I produced a Pulitzer Prize winning film in 2015 about an Afghan woman who was burned to death. I was the Executive Producer of "The Queen of Basketball," a short documentary about the first woman drafted into the NBA. It won the 2022 Oscar for Best Short Documentary. In 2009, I was the first journalist to "discover" an unknown school girl named Malala Yousafzai, and I brought her story to the world in a 2009 film, "Malala's Story." I won an Emmy award for The Forger, a documentary about a Frenchman who saved many lives forging documents for those escaping violence. I directed, wrote and reported the NYT Opinion feature documentary Operation InfeKtion, which was nominated for two Emmy awards and sold to BBC World, airing across 200 countries. I won three Overseas Press Club Awards for coverage of Pakistan, Arab Spring, and for leading The Times video coverage of the Paris Attacks. I was nominated 3x for The Livingston Award, which honors journalists under the age of 35. I lived in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Indonesia, Russia, the Czech Republic, Lithuania, U.K., Brazil and Switzerland.
