Award winning foreign correspondent with over 15 years experience reporting on conflict and climate. I’ve reported from Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Yemen and other countries in the Middle East. I’m now based in Rome for NPR, and report from the Middle East as well as southern Europe where I focus on climate and migration. I was previously the U.S Editor for The Telegraph - the youngest US Editor in the newspaper's history - covering the US 2016 presidential election race. (What a race!)This year I won three National Headliner awards for reporting from Turkey, Iraq and the war in Gaza. I’ve also been awarded the Young Journalist of the Year prize the British Press Awards and twice been a finalist Amnesty International’s Gaby Rado Award for human rights reporting. An investigation Syrian government chemical weapons was shortlisted at the British Journalism Awards. One of my pieces for the BBC’s From Our Own Correspondent, also from Syria, has been included in a book of the programme’s best stories. With NPR, a podcast episode I reported and helped to write and produce for the show Embedded was shortlisted for the prestigious Livingstone award.
