I am an award-winning reporter, writer and editor based in Portland, Oregon. My stories on topics ranging from Soviet-era gastrodiplomacy to the changing response to transgender bathroom bills have appeared on NPR, The Guardian, The Washington Post, Marketplace, Saveur, The Oregonian, and more. I've provided trainings on interviewing, story structure, and resonant writing to audiences including journalists, museum exhibit designers, and college students, and edit/punch up book proposals, radio stories, and sermons. I'm a prober and refiner of big ideas, and creator of driveway moments.
