I’m a freelance journalist, author and content writer who believes that true stories, powerfully told, can make the world a better place.

While I have a soft spot for stories about social justice and solutions, I’m a curious cat who’s willing to tackle just about any topic you throw my way (as long as it doesn’t get, like, too science-y).

With more than a decade of experience in the field, I’ve excelled as a writer who can distill complex topics and thorny issues into relatable stories that empower readers. I started as a high school journalist, then worked my way up through the college daily before hopping between roles in public radio and local newspapers.

Now in my practice as a freelancer, I put my skills to use for publications like The Washington Post and The Guardian, as well as organizations like Atlassian and the American Association of Colleges & Universities. No matter the assignment, I always exceed expectations by turning around high-quality work well ahead of deadline.

I also have a bit of a spicy side. Call me a free-spirit, or just a straight-up weirdo, but I infuse my work and my personal life with a pretty fearless attitude. I’m not afraid to be vulnerable in my writing, or to include myself in a story when it makes sense.

When I’m not working, I’ve been known to ride my bike across entire states or summit treacherous peaks in the dead of winter. And just recently, I fulfilled my long-simmering dream of moving to Italy. (If you’re ever in Milan, come say hello!)
