Hello,
I’m an editor, journalist, and marketing copywriter in Portland, OR. As a storyteller, I focus on environmental issues, nature, music, and agriculture—for Harper’s, The Atlantic, Adventure Journal—always centering stories on people. I’m also a visual artist, skater, and photographer. My goal is to do work that benefits humanity, animals, and our planet.
