Senior🎓
Top SchoolSarah Ryley is an investigative journalist, editor, and product designer with 11 years of focused experience turning data-driven reporting into tangible reforms—her investigations have helped pass dozens of laws and earned 30+ honors, including a Pulitzer Prize for Public Service. She builds investigative products and data frameworks, most recently co-founding The Source Report to map global supply-chain abuses with Brown Institute–backed grants and Startup Columbia support. A Knight-Bagehot fellow who completed MBA core coursework and electives in statistics, AI, and supply chains, she combines rigorous business training with hands-on newsroom skills in public records, data requests, and legal appeals. Former roles at The Boston Globe, The Trace, New York Daily News and freelance work for the New York Times and Fuller Project show consistent impact—from freeing a wrongfully convicted man to prompting federal inspections and policy changes. She mentors emerging journalists and blends journalism with product design, bringing an uncommon mix of newsroom rigor, technical curiosity, and creative background as a former painter and community organizer.
