I am the author of “Rehab: An American Scandal,” forthcoming from Simon & Schuster. At The Marshall Project, I’ve exposed how hospitals across the country routinely drug test patients who give birth and report them to child welfare authorities based on the results of faulty drug tests.
At the Center for Investigative Reporting, I was the lead reporter-producer on the popular investigative podcast “American Rehab,” which focused on drug treatment programs that put participants to work without pay at for-profit companies.
My reporting has prompted criminal and congressional probes and new laws, and has appeared in The New York Times Magazine, on NPR, on CNN and in newspapers across the country. I have also been honored as a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, and won numerous awards, including the Livingston Award, the IRE Medal and the Murrow Award.
