Research and Investigations
What I Offer
Investigations
I’ve worked with non-profits and academic institutions to produce factually accurate, investigative reports on global environment, sustainability, supply chain, and social issues in several countries. Here are few examples.
Dirty Fashion
Greenwashing the U.S. Carpet Industry
Oil: Uganda's Opportunity for Prosperity
Global Field Expertise
All issues are in some way, transnational, and for you to be effective, you must be able to communicate and collaborate across borders. As a researcher, I can provide not only high-quality data, but also a journalist eye and perspective for what stories can help raise awareness and gain exposure for your organization or cause. I am available to do field research, prepare report, and do local press outreach, including media events.
