Now: Tokyo/Seoul bureau chief for The Washington Post, covering Japan and the Koreas. Follow my coverage on my author page.

Previously: Reporter on The Post's national political enterprise and accountability team, covering money and influence in politics, voting access, ethics in government and more. Before that, I was a reporter on The Post's Fact Checker, with a focus on the 2016 campaign, the White House and Congress.

I started my career at The Arizona Republic in Phoenix, Ariz., as a government accountability reporter covering public money, regulatory loopholes and politics at Maricopa County and the state legislature.

Outside the newsroom: Retired two-term national president & lifelong supporter of Asian American Journalists Association (AAJA). Member of Investigative Reporters and Editors (IRE). Human to two cats.

When I'm not working: I'm planning my next trip, exploring new restaurants or daydreaming about the beaches at home in Guam.
