Excited to share that I'm heading downstate in a few months to join the New York Times 2025-26 fellowship class. I'll be on the National desk starting in June.
We’re pleased to introduce the 2025-26 @nytimes fellowship class. nytco.com/press/introducing-…

Even as crossings at the southern border plunge, record-high numbers of migrants continue to enter the U.S. through Canada — and through northern New York in particular.

This case — in which the NY State Police are accused of allowing a known child abuser to quietly retire from the force in the 80s — went to trial this week.
Read our coverage here.
"Victim of child sex abuse by state trooper testifies at trial:" timesunion.com/news/article/…
Newly obtained court documents show that NY State Police allowed an accused child predator to quietly retire from the force, rather than face the backlash of a public investigation.
The Trooper went on to abuse children in Saratoga County for decades:

At a church in Schenectady, a longtime pastor has repeatedly tried to pressure women in allegedly abusive marriages to stay with men they feared.
Those who left anyway faced retaliation from the church.

From a new @timesunion investigation
Police chases in NY have killed at least 117 people since 2012. And as cops chase more cars, more people are dying in the resulting wrecks.

As a student journo I spent months on this article about a defense contractor's prison labor ties. When the story got axed from the college paper, VICE saved it. It was my first freelance gig and helped kickstart my journalism career.
Sad to see it go.

As more migrants enter the U.S. through the northern border, human smugglers in Canada are using social media to advertise their services.
In one recent case, a woman who connected with her smuggler via TikTok died while crossing.

Jon Wilhelm, the team chiropractor accused of sexually assaulting Olympic bobsledder Aja Evans, faced a similar allegation in 2021, a search warrant obtained by the @timesunion reveals.
He's continued treating Team USA bobsledders since then.

More migrants coming to the U.S. have turned to New York’s land border with Canada. For smugglers in the region, that's proved a lucrative business opportunity.
For the @timesunion, I investigated the rise of human smuggling in New York’s rural north.

A project from earlier this spring: in Central New York, lawyers help bankroll campaigns for the same judges who decide their cases.
My last story out of Syracuse, and my first for @Central_Current
Law firms — including some of Central New York’s largest practices — play an outsized role in financing the campaigns of judges who rule on their cases. That’s raised ethical questions, even as local lawyers defend the practice, @chrishipp15_ reports
