Maria Petrakis

I'm an experienced journalist and editor based in Melbourne, Australia with a portfolio of work ranging from financial and business news to general news and culture. I've worked at Bloomberg and Reuters and freelanced for the Los Angeles Times. From Europe, I covered two of the world's most important stories in the past decade -- the European debt crisis and the European refugee crisis. I have a deep understanding of financial markets and regulatory environments, particularly in crisis, and am able to portray complex issues to a general audience.
