I write about the European Union and the role it plays in the policy and politics of its 27 member countries, as well as the bloc’s place on the global stage. The stories I report on range widely from culture and social issues to politics and economics. For the past few years, this has meant focusing on the E.U.’s response to the coronavirus pandemic and the war in Ukraine, as well as major stories relating to migration, spyware and corruption. I also report on Belgium, with a special interest in the country’s unique practices in dealing with mental health.
I joined The Times in 2019, after nearly a decade with The Wall Street Journal in Europe and Africa. I have reported on financial meltdowns and refugee crises, wars and coups, from more than 30 countries.
In 2021 I was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for International Reporting as part of a Times team that investigated the spread of Covid-19 in nursing homes. In 2019, I was part of a team at The Journal that won a Society of American Business Editors and Writers award for coverage of the crash of a Boeing 737-Max operated by Ethiopian Airlines. I won the 2016 One World Media award for my reporting on the refugee exodus from inside Eritrea.
I have also worked at The Economist, where I was a Marjorie Deane fellow. I studied modern history and politics at Oxford University as an undergraduate, and I hold a Master in Public Administration from the London School of Economics.
I was born and raised in Athens, Greece, where I took my first steps as a reporter working for Athens-based newspapers.
I live in Brussels with my husband, our two children and two Labrador retrievers.
As a Times journalist, I am committed to upholding the standards of integrity outlined in our Ethical Journalism Handbook. I have no partisan or other political affiliations, nor do I donate to causes that are related to my reporting. I always identify myself as a Times journalist when working. I pay particular attention to giving subjects of my reporting a fair, meaningful chance to comment, and I endeavor to present all sides of the debates that I cover accurately and fully.
