I am an independent reporter and editor based in the Pacific Northwest.

My work brings together thinking from different fields of expertise and experience. My stories feature cross sections of society bringing together the voices of clergy, psychologists, teachers, youth, community organizers, and scientists. I attempt to convey the complexity of the world and highlight those looking for solutions to perplexing problems. I’m passionate about including underrepresented voices. I see the importance of the hyperlocal while seeking to understand our connection to the global.

My work has appeared in Sojourners, High Country News, Grist, YES!, U.S. Catholic, and Atmos. I’ve received the 2026 HEAL fellowship from the Solutions Journalism Network for reporting on youth mental health and also earned a spot in the 2024 SJN climate cohort. I was a 2022 fellow in the Religion and Environment Story Project.

For five years, I served as science editor at Christianity Today. I led strategy on coverage for the science section, evaluating and approving pitches, and guiding writers from a first draft to a published final. I also led and organized writers workshops to develop capacity for writers to integrate theology and science in their work.

I also worked for eight years as a community journalist covering suburban governments and school districts in the Portland, Oregon, area, winning several awards for reporting on sexual abuse by a swim coach, an accidental death of a boy on the school playground, and how urban water rights threaten endangered salmon.

I have an M.A. in international studies from the University of Washington. I am a member of the Northwest Science Writers Association, the Society of Environmental Journalists, and the Religion News Association.
