I write about all kinds of events in Ukraine: battlefield developments, attacks on civilian centers, efforts to sustain a war-torn economy, foreign and domestic policy, and more. While much of my coverage is driven by breaking news, I also try to take a broader look at the course of the war and its impact on Ukrainian society, economy and politics, whether it’s the fall of Ukraine’s oligarchs, concerns about a new mobilization bill or grass roots campaigns to raise money for the army.
I joined The Times in 2020 as a reporter covering France, where I grew up. I reported on the country’s landmark terrorism trials, sexual abuse in Paris’s intellectual circles, and the country’s colonial legacy. I also covered the 2022 presidential campaign and the rise of the French far right. In 2023, I was part of a team that won the Hillman Prize for Newspaper Journalism for a series on Haiti and the enormous sums the country was forced to pay to its former French enslavers.
I graduated from HEC Paris with a master’s degree in business. I also hold a master’s degree in political philosophy from La Sorbonne University in Paris.
As a Times journalist, I am committed to the standards of integrity outlined in our Ethical Journalism handbook. I strive to be meticulous, fair and empathetic in my work. I do not shy away from difficult questions in my reporting, while trying to convey that stories are often complex and nuanced.
