About Zoe Sullivan
I'm a freelance journalist, and I've been based in New Orleans for the past year and a half. I'll be in a master's in journalism program in Washington, DC for the 2011-2012 academic year. In addition to reporting in the US, I have also covered stories in Brazil such as the construction of a wall around Rio de Janeiro slum communities.
