Justine is an award-winning journalist with a passion for using video to tell meaningful stories around the world. 

Justine has a master’s degree in journalism from Columbia University and has spent the last eight years as a journalist working around the world. She freelances as a TV anchor and reporter for News 12 in New York City and produces stories for financial TV outlet Cheddar. Often acting as a “one-woman-band,” Justine shoots, writes and edits her own stories. She’s been nominated for two Emmys and won an Associated Press award. From reporting live on events from the El Chapo trial in federal court to the protests following George Floyd’s death, she is up for covering any story big or small. Her short film while in grad school on the oldest pickle-maker in America won the Bloomberg Made in NYC Award at the Food Film Festival and later showed in the Seattle International Film Festival, on Alaska Airlines flights and at festivals across Japan. Before News 12, Justine shot, edited and produced videos for the Charlotte Observer newspaper’s website in North Carolina covering the 2016 election, Hurricane Matthew, and the riots after police killed Keith Lamont Scott, appearing live on Fox News, TRT Turkish News, Canadian National TV and i24. Justine has also been a contributor on Cheddar, Frontline Perspectives, Hong Kong’s i-Cable channel and at various academic conferences.

Justine has traveled to all 50 states and to 155 countries across all seven continents on her quest to reach all 195 UN nations. She’s lived in Moscow, Paris and Bangkok and speaks conversational Russian and French. She has also had her photography work in galleries in New York City and Miami, published in newspapers and displayed in online publications.

From riding overnight in Mauritania through the Sahara Desert on the world’s longest train to exploring the tea plantations of Sri Lanka, she’s just as happy covering riots halfway around the world as she is spending time in her own backyard (which is actually just a fire escape with a view of traffic because she lives in Manhattan).
