I’m Rohan. (Pronounced Ro-Wan. I know.)

I’m a researcher, fact-checker, and writer with 5+ years of experience. You can usually find me in Brooklyn, New York, but I’m occasionally in London, Medellín, or elsewhere. You can always find me at montroro@proton.me.

In 2022 I interned at The New Republic in NYC and In These Times in Chicago. At both publications I fact-checked, copy edited, transcribed, and wrote hundreds of articles on a wide range of topics, from methadone clinics to housing projects to strikes to nuclear weapons to — well, you get the idea. If you need an efficient, diligent fact-checker, reach out to me at the email above.

I also researched, wrote, and presented a report on Gustavo Petro’s first few months in office for BBC Radio 4.

Before that, I was editor-in-chief of the Cambridge Globalist, which was the University of Cambridge’s largest student-run international affairs journal. I was a member of the inaugural “Legacies of Slavery” research team at St. Catharine’s College, worked with board members of Theatre for a Change to locate and vet potential microfinancial partners, and helped the Cambridge Democrats Abroad record the highest per-capita increase in membership of any DA chapter.

Since then, I’ve been working as a freelance researcher, reporter, fact-checker, and copy editor. My work has mainly been published in The Nation, which nominated one piece for a Livingstone award. I’ve also fact-checked for publications like The Drift. Other clients include Business Fights Poverty, State Affairs, Semrush, Preply, Movavi, Adidas, and more. (I also dabble in SEO copywriting.)

In my spare time, I play tennis, make music, go on long walks, and dream up ideas for zines with my friends. (The first, Candlelight, is complete! The second, Masks, is in progress.)

Last year, I spent about six months in South America — mainly Colombia and Ecuador — learning Spanish. I got my B2 certificate. Que Chimba!

(I also made this site in WordPress.)
