About

I am a seasoned investigator and researcher with experience conducting investigations for various litigation, including securities class actions and other cases. I also conduct business intelligence, due diligence and research for a diverse clientele. I transitioned into private research and investigations after 15 years as an investigative journalist, most recently with the Los Angeles Times. My work at the newspaper included spearheading a team of journalists to look into widespread corruption in California's cannabis licensing, part of a series of stories that was a finalist for the 2023 Pulitzer Prize. As an investigative reporter, I built a career on uncovering hard-to-find information, solving complex problems, and distilling intricate details into clear, compelling narratives. Now as a private investigator/researcher, I bring that same critical thinking, tenacity, and strategic problem-solving to my work. Whether it’s locating and interviewing key witnesses, uncovering background details, or analyzing records to identify inconsistencies, I approach every case with the thoroughness and persistence that has defined my career.
