Hello!
I’m a print and audio journalist with more than a decade of experience telling narrative-driven stories across the western U.S. and Latin America. My work has been published in High Country News, Hakai, NPR, Mother Jones, The Atlantic, bioGraphic, Sierra, The Colorado Trust, and others. I’m interested in borders, wild places, and inequality, but l’ll write about almost anything if there’s a good story involved.
Currently, I’m the inaugural women’s desk reporter for Aspen Public Radio, where I cover women’s issues in the Roaring Fork and Colorado River Valleys. Previously, I was a correspondent for High Country News and a newspaper reporter in Chile. And before that, I rode my bicycle down the spine of the Andes from northwest Argentina to Ushuaia.
I have a B.A. in English Literature from Williams College and an MFA in creative nonfiction writing from Columbia University. In 2016, I was a fellow at the Logan Nonfiction Program. My work has been recognized by The Canadian National Magazine Awards, The Society of Professional Journalists, and the Colorado Press Association, among others. I was born and raised in Toronto, Canada, and am currently based in the mountains of western Colorado. When I’m not working, I climb, ski, and make pottery.
I’ve completed Hostile Environment and First Aid Training through the International Women’s Media Foundation and am available for print and radio story assignments, audio production, fact-checking, narrative consulting, research, and editing.
