Professional Experience
I am seasoned international journalist and professor of journalism, with extensive experience as both an editor and a reporter. My background as a financial and legal journalist has taken me from the courtroom covering the historic Enron trial to the FBI headquarters in D.C. pursuing stories on financial crime to the boardrooms in Dubai, breaking news on the impact of Dubai World's financial collapse. I have reported for newswires and online agencies, managed legal magazines serving the Middle East and North Asia and worked as an on-air correspondent for major television networks in the U.S. and Asia.
