I live to explore the underlying patterns and untold narratives behind the most important social issues and engaging underdog stories. With a range of work experience at Overtime, The Bangor Daily News, The Martha's Vineyard Times and Pacifica Radio, I can thoughtfully and accurately convey information across all forms of media. ​ At the University of Michigan, I majored in International Studies and minored in Cultural Anthropology. I conducted boots-on-the-ground ethnographic research in Spain, Peru and Ecuador, gaining a deeper understanding of the human condition.​ I'm a lifelong chess player (I give lessons!), documentary film enthusiast and am a fan of the Detroit Lions and New York Mets.
