Narimes Parakul

Narimes Parakul is an award-winning investigative researcher based in the Pacific Northwest. Most recently, she was Business Insider’s first staff researcher and fact-checker on the investigations team.

Her work on longform investigative projects include reporting on the environmental and financial consequences of data centers across the U.S., contributing to the first reporting dataset of transgender homicides over a five-year span, and building a reporting database exposing sexual abuse cover-ups among secondary school teachers in the largest school districts in the country. 

Using enterprising public records, her quicker turnaround investigative stories covered patterns of abuse, inhumane conditions, and wrongful deaths in the correctional and psychiatric care industries.
