She has worked everywhere from Fox News Channel during its early days with Shepard Smith to Charlie Rose to CNN to CBS News’s Beijing Bureau (she lived and freelanced in Beijing for two years). Before founding TCR, her reporting as a freelancer was published in The New York Times’s China edition, The Daily Beast, Buzzfeed, The Atlantic, Chinafile.com, The South China Morning Post, and the Columbia Journalism Review.
