I’m a New Hampshire-based journalist with more than six years’ experience as a writer and editor.
Much of my recent work has focused on the criminal justice system, including enterprise stories about drug courts, court diversion, bail reform, “death resulting” drug prosecutions and police use of force. I have also covered a range of other topics in New Hampshire and Vermont, including local government, business, the environment and the COVID-19 pandemic.
Most recently, I was on staff at The Keene Sentinel, a daily paper in southwestern New Hampshire, as a reporter and then editor. Before that, I was an associate editor at Trail Runner magazine in Colorado, covering the scrappy-but-serious sport of off-road running.
While at The Sentinel, I received New England Newspaper and Press Association Awards in the human interest, environmental reporting and right-to-know categories. I was also selected for fellowships at John Jay College’s Center on Media, Crime and Justice in 2018 and the New England First Amendment Institute in 2019.
Before entering journalism, I majored in Arabic and comparative literature/translation at the University of Texas at Austin. After graduating in 2012, I spent a year in Cairo studying Arabic with the Center for Arabic Study Abroad, followed by a year in Abu Dhabi as a teaching assistant at New York University-Abu Dhabi.
I live in Keene, New Hampshire. When not hunched over my laptop, scribbling in a notebook or sifting through government reports, I like to cook, read and spend time outside in scenic New England.
