I'm a multimedia journalist at KHOL, public radio for Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and the state's only community radio station. You can sometimes hear me on Wyoming Public Radio and NPR. Or find my bylines in WyoFile and the Salt Lake Tribune.
I'm inspired by narrative centric storytelling or the longform journalism that I like to call slow news. The character driven stories that stop you in your tracks, go a bit deeper and stay with you awhile. I try to surprise my editors with the angle I take each story.
I first picked up the audio craft in college while interning at Aspen Public Radio and later at Colorado Public Radio for the health, education and justice desk. At KHOL, I more or less cover the same topics plus regular coverage of town and county politics and immigration for Wyoming Public Radio. I also produce all my own audio.
Print journalism drew me in first and my time as editor-in-chief of my college newspaper is to credit. While studying History at Pomona College, I oversaw all operations and editorial content for the campus weekly, The Student Life. I also brought back the special projects desk and coordinated two award-winning issues while leading a team of 20 of my peers: one about the first cohort of Black students and the activism that created the Africana Studies department and the other on how queer students historically found ways to thrive in underground campus communities during times when it was less safe to be out.
When I'm not newsroom, you'll find me on the trails or in a studio trying to master the craft of film photography and some new (to me) form of printmaking.
