I am a Denver-based journalist and teacher who has traveled far in pursuit of great stories. I’ve worked throughout my career to craft sharp narratives and share them with diverse audiences. And I want to share your stories, too.
These days, I’m an independent contractor who brings a decade of editorial work to the table. I’ve worked as a magazine editor—including at 5280, Denver’s award-winning city magazine, where I am still a contributing writer. I’ve also worked as a nonprofit content manager and continue to teach journalism and public relations courses at the Community College of Denver. My client work today lives at the intersection of media and philanthropy, producing strong narratives that help individuals and organizations connect with much-needed resources. I am also a contributing editor for WILDSAM magazine.
My writing has appeared in a variety of publications, including Outside Magazine, where in 2017 I worked as an editorial fellow. I’ve also been published in TIME, the Denver Post, High Country News, the Good Men Project, the New Hampshire Union Leader, the Helena Independent Record, the Taos News, and other publications. “Race to the Bottom,” my 5280 feature chronicling Colorado’s 2020 U.S. Senate race, won first prize from the Society of Professional Journalists’ Top of the Rockies awards.
As a reporter I have covered a breadth of topics including city and state politics, religion, education, natural resources, infrastructure, and adventure sports. I’ve written about large mountains, urgent news events, and whimsical tales about of gas station hot dogs. As an editor I am experienced managing digital growth, overseeing social media strategy, and managing freelance writers, photographers, and videographers.
I am a proud graduate of Carroll College in Helena, Montana (class of ’15), where I studied English and political science and began an ongoing journey in the Mountain West. In 2016, I earned a Master’s degree from Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism. In my free time I enjoy skiing, baseball, fishing badly, and, lately, restoring small sailboats.
