About
With both empathy and exactitude, I make great content better as a fact-checker and investigative editor.
Whether backstopping and tightening long-form narratives, audio projects, white papers or legal briefs, my collaborative approach protects both the legal standing of the organizations that hire me and the professional reputations of their team members.
And more often than not, we have fun doing it.
I studied data journalism, Freedom of Information and public policy reporting while earning my master’s degree from the Missouri School of Journalism. Before that, I studied fiction and poetry at the University of New Hampshire, and creative non-fiction writing & editing at the Salt Institute for Documentary Studies.
While living on the New Hampshire Seacoast, I volunteered as founding program director and in several other roles for the low-power FM station Portsmouth Community Radio, which went on the air in 2004. In 2015, I helped secure passage of Vermont’s journalism shield law. From 2018-2022, I served as the five-term elected chair of the Society of Professional Journalists’ Freelance Community.
When I’m not doing journalism, I’m either reading, writing, swimming, collecting driftwood, riding my motorcycle, tinkering with my fiancé at our off-grid cabin, or hatching a new adventure.
