In the coming weeks, I’ll be filing radio and multimedia stories from my reporting in Brazil, including stories on (in order of photos) Rio’s massive public safety overhaul, the Charismatic Catholic Renewal, and persecution suffered by followers of the Umbanda faith.

I'm currently in New York working at the Huffington Post, which is launching a new streaming network. For most of the last year, I've traveled through parts of Asia and Latin America to tell stories - primarily in radio. (Rio was my last stop - hence the photo!)
