I’m an international correspondent for NPR covering China, Taiwan and beyond.

Previously, I was a foreign correspondent for the Financial Times. Based in Beijing, I covered a broad range of topics, including human rights and technology. I previously spent a decade living in China and Taiwan.

My reporting from Taiwan was part of a citation from the Overseas Press Club Awards in 2025.

My reporting has also let me nerd out over semiconductors and drones, travel to environmental wastelands and write about girl bands and art. I’ve had the privilege of filing stories from the bottom of a coal mine, the top of a mosque in Qinghai and inside a cave Chairman Mao once lived in.

In 2024, I was chosen by Boston University for their Hugo Shong Reporting Asia Award for exhibiting "the highest standards of international journalism in a series of reports on matters of importance specific to Asia."

I was 2023 winner of the Daniel Schorr Journalism Prize, awarded to a rising public media journalist 35 years of age or younger. I also received the 2022 Shorenstein Journalism Award for her overall reporting on the Asia Pacific.

My human rights coverage has won two Human Rights Press awards. I also spearheaded coverage that has won two Gracie Awards and was also named a Livingston Award finalist in 2021.

I’m a proud graduate of Duke University with a dual B.A. degree from Duke's Sanford School in Asian and Middle Eastern studies and in public policy.
