Hello, I'm
Writer
Get To Know More
I’m a journalist with a background in news and science writing and a particular interest in the people
behind complex stories. My work currently sits at the intersection of women’s sports, health, and culture,
where I’m interested in the systems that shape athletes’ experiences, the people building women’s sports,
and the stories that extend beyond the box score.
I’m primarily a feature writer, drawn to people: what motivates them, what they’ve overcome, what
they care about, and how their experiences connect to something bigger. I also have a special place in my
heart for basketball and ultimate frisbee, where my work spans game previews, recaps, analysis, player
profiles, and other game-day coverage.
Whether I’m reporting on healthcare, science, business, or sports, I love asking good questions,
listening closely, and finding the human story within the subject. I’m currently available for freelance
assignments in healthcare, business, science, and sports.
