Hi! My name is Simmone. I'm a reporter at TIME where I cover climate change. I also help research and fact-check stories for the magazine. Previously, I worked on the breaking news desk, and helped cover international affairs and tech news. Before joining TIME, I interned for Reveal's engagement team, where I provided research assistance for a newsroom collaboration on the Silicon Valley housing crisis, and helped write weekly newsletters, tweetstorms, and Instagram stories; my work was included in a package that won a 2020 Murrow in social media reporting. I was also an intern at ELLE, where I did research for feature stories and helped track (and read!) books for magazine consideration. Say hi at simmoneshah[at]gmail[dot]com or on Twitter at @simmoneshah.
