I have worked as a journalist with newspapers in Boston and Portland, Maine, and as a researcher/writer for Human Rights Watch. I have authored three books, the most recent of which is "New Mainers: Portraits of Our Immigrant Neighbors," with photographs by Jan Pieter van Voorst van Beest.
I have also taught media studies at the University of Southern Maine and English to adult immigrants in Maine and Washington, DC. I currently volunteer with the NPCA affiliate Peace Corps Community for Refugees.
