    Fulbright in Central Asia 

    From March, 2022 to January of 2023, I was a Fulbright Scholar with  the U.S. State Department in post-Soviet Central Asia. My previous Fulbright was in Ukraine. For the past six years, I have reported on journalists from post-Soviet countries who have experienced retaliation for reporting the truth.
