A highly creative journalist, I am exceptionally strong at developing and producing strong national and local stories and have assisted publications in building new audiences. I have covered issues ranging from the environment and sustainability, international news, culture, politics, and sports for publications including Newsweek, The New York Times, The Boston Globe and The Chicago Sun-Times. I have experience in blogging, social media and following trends on Google Analytics.
As an independent journalist specializing in enterprise stories, my work has appeared in The New York Times (most recently reporting for Special Projects/Culture Desk), Grist.com, Craftsmanship.net, NextCity.com, and CivilEats.com. My work has also appeared in The Boston Globe. I’ve been on staff at the Chicago Sun-Times, Chicago Tribune's Suburban Trib, and The Des Moines Register.
