I am an award-winning journalist and editor working in local news. My freelance writing has appeared in the New York Times, the Guardian, Roads & Kingdoms, Literary Hub, Yes!, Fast Company, MM&M, and many other outlets.

 

Since 2022, I have been the Hudson Valley managing editor for The Times Union, leading the paper's coverage of this fast-changing and beautiful region. Before that, I was the managing editor of The River Newsroom, a digital newsmagazine from Chronogram Media that covers New York's Hudson Valley region. I also taught editing and digital publishing in the journalism department at SUNY New Paltz.

​

I grew up in Texas and moved to New York in 2012 to attend NYU's graduate program in magazine journalism. I now live in Kingston. My work has been supported by the New America National Network, the Google News Initiative, and the Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute; has been featured by Longform, the Sunday Long Read, and other aggregators of fine reporting; and has won several awards from the New York Press Association.​
