REPORTING


I report hyperlocal news and environmental enterprise stories that are solutions-focused and justice informed. Philadelphia, where I first learned to be a journalist, and Denver, where I report now, are both “cities of neighborhoods.” The neighborhoods in these cities are incredibly unique, with unique challenges and strengths alike. Rather than treat these neighborhoods as a monolith, I prefer to dig into the identity and history of each community and create journalism that serves the people living there. 

My work has appeared in Yellow Scene Magazine, Colorado Community Media, Next City, The Colorado Sun and Boulder Weekly.
