Hi! I’m Jill. I’m a multimedia journalist, with a focus on business and financial journalism.

I currently cover distressed debt for Bloomberg News. Previously at Bloomberg, I covered leveraged finance and completed a rotational program on beats such as health, oil markets, the economy, and wealth. I also did a project for the news automation team aimed at extracting structured data on asset-based securities deals.

I completed my master’s degree in business and data journalism as the inaugural Jack Rosenthal Scholar at the CUNY Newmark School of Journalism.

I moved to the United States when I was nine from Mumbai, India. In addition to English, I speak Gujarati and speak, read and write Hindi fluently. I am proficient in Spanish. I completed my Bachelor’s degree in Cultural Anthropology with honors from Northwestern University.

I’m also a career changer. Before becoming a journalist, I worked for six years in technology, international development and global health. I currently live in Astoria, Queens with my partner and our growing collection of houseplants.

I'm always interested in tips of any kind. I take trust very seriously and conduct myself ethically when it comes to journalism, especially on sensitive topics. I am careful to protect the identity of those who need to remain anonymous to share information with me.
