Hi! I grew up in the towering redwoods of Humboldt County, California, and have spent my life in both the Pacific Northwest and Colorado. My dog Henry and I now happily call Bend, Oregon, home.I enjoy writing, editing and promoting thoughtful content that makes people think, laugh or cry. I’m passionate about journalism and the critical role it plays in our world — I feel that I lucked out to find myself engaged in such an important industry. My favorite work activities are simplifying complex or confusing information for others and projects that use data to guide the work. Teaching what I've learned and seeing others succeed also makes me happy.Outside of work, my world is full of dogs, outdoor adventures and home improvement projects. I never turn down an offer to end my work day early if it means I get to play in the mountains, explore with my pup or do anything that involves fresh air away from a screen. I have many side gigs including making nature-themed stickers as well as custom shirts and knick knacks that I share on stickoutside.com. Thanks for stopping by!
