About

I believe in bike commuting.
I believe in kitchen dance parties.
I believe art is a lot harder to make weirder than it is to reel it in.
I believe in ordering a bottle instead of a glass.
I believe in taking a break from booze.
I believe telling our stories is our best shot at changing the world.
I believe in reusable coffee mugs. (and the lattes they carry.)
I believe in the power of community.


Beyond beliefs, I have a journalism background and a master’s in digital storytelling. I am a writer with extensive agency experience who specialized in radio producing and personal essay.
