About

Justine has a master’s degree in journalism from Columbia University and has been nominated for an Emmy and won an Associated Press Award. She spent the last seven years as a freelance TV anchor and reporter for News 12 Networks in New York City, often operating as a one-woman-band. She has reported live on events including the El Chapo trial in federal court, the Bronx-Lebanon hospital shooting, the Hudson River helicopter crash and Black Lives Matter protests. Her features have included topics from a 100-year-old Holocaust survivor, the Zamboni drivers at Madison Square Garden and the oldest pickle-maker in America. The latter winning the Bloomberg Made in NYC Award at the Food Film Festival, later showing in the Seattle International Film Festival, on Alaska Airlines flights and at festivals across Japan.

Justine also co-owns the international storytelling platform Jetset Journalists with her journalist husband. The two have traveled the world producing video stories including an exclusive look inside secret military training camps in Kyiv during the war in Ukraine, daily mass cremations in Varanasi, India and the world’s largest ice festival in Harbin, China. From the rock-hewn churches in Lalibela, Ethiopia to the floating villages of Inle Lake, Myanmar, their videos have been featured on outlets including the New York Post.

Before News 12, Justine shot, edited and produced videos and photographs for the Charlotte Observer newspaper’s website in North Carolina covering the 2016 election, Hurricane Matthew, the riots that erupted after the police killing of Keith Lamont Scott and solitary confinement in Raleigh’s Central Prison. Dozens of her photographs were featured in the newspaper, several on the Sunday A1 page.

She has appeared live on Fox News, TRT Turkish News, Canadian National TV, i24 and Hong Kong’s iCable News. Justine has been to all 50 states and 140+ countries across all seven continents. She’s lived in Moscow, Paris and Bangkok and speaks conversational Russian and French.
