I want to also say a big thank you to @AlOraibi, @thomaswatkins and @TheNationalNews for an amazing 8 years. 23 countries and countless of amazing colleagues later ... I am a better journalist thanks to my time at the best paper in the Middle East.

***Personal news*** I’m beyond excited to rejoin the CBC, after a decade away, as a live reporter in Washington DC.

It’s an amazing and challenging time to report from the US for CBC and I’m grateful for the opportunity and can’t wait to get started next month.
