Her first book, "The Rebel of Rangoon; a Tale of Defiance and Deliverance in Burma," a Kirkus 2015 Best Book of the Year, burrowed into the lives of pro-democracy dissidents over four years in Burma/Myanmar, where she was first dispatched as The Washington Post's underground correspondent at a time when foreign journalists were prohibited entry.

She earned her bachelors degree in Modern History with double First Class honors from Oxford University, and holds a Masters in International Affairs from Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs.
