A versatile writer who knows a good story.

I’m an award-winning feature writer for On Wisconsin, one of the largest-circulation (~500,000) alumni magazines in the country. I cover just about everything—from poetry to psychedelic therapy, from Brutalist architecture to the business of food delivery, and from the dangers of head injuries in football to the spectacle of the Rose Bowl.

And I could be writing for you!

I specialize in sports, culture, and politics, but I’m eager to do a deep dive into almost any subject. My academic background in journalism and history inspires me to ground every story in stacks of primary and secondary research. I thoroughly prepare for interviews to make best use of a source’s time. And I commit to finding the most compelling angle, no matter the topic.

My professional experiences include working for PR and marketing organizations, and I covered the Milwaukee Bucks (before they were good) for an ESPN TrueHoop affiliate.
