I contribute stories, original reporting, and the occasional editorial to a growing list of publications, including the New York Times, Dwell, RunHer Mag, Christianity Today, and 5280 Magazine. I’m always open to working with new outlets, so if you’re looking for a reliable reporter with a knack for finding the story in a subject, reach out. I’m available for assignments.
