I am a Pakistani journalist who divides her time between Karachi and Mexico City. My reporting has appeared in Harper’s, WIRED, The Baffler, BBC and Reuters, and others.
I am currently the inaugural Bruno fellow at Coda Story, where my project involves investigating authoritarian uses of technology in Pakistan, and a Persephone Miel fellow with the Pulitzer Center.
For four years, I was a staffer at the monthly Herald, Pakistan’s oldest current-affairs magazine. My work on dynasticism and political inequality was a finalist for the 2014 Global Editors Network Data Journalism Awards and my reporting on Pakistan’s looming water crisis received a citation for reporting excellence from the Asia Society.
Between 2015 and 2017, I was a Fulbright scholar at NYU; in the summer in between, I worked with Reuters in Mexico City as an Overseas Press Club fellow. I hold an undergraduate degree in Government and Economics from the London School of Economics.
