Everyone has a story.
As a journalist, I value accuracy and context. Whether writing about beer, food, or agriculture, it’s my mission to convey the truth and nuance of people and places.
After graduating from Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism, I’ve worked as a reporter and editor across newspapers, magazines, and digital publications. I’m currently a freelance reporter and copywriter with a focus on beer, spirits, food, and the outdoors, with work appearing in:
The New York Times
The Washington Post
Good Beer Hunting
Craft Beer & Brewing Magazine
America’s Test Kitchen
Imbibe Magazine
Montana Quarterly
Thrillist
Chicago Magazine
Craft Spirits Magazine
Modern Farmer
Foodservice Equipment Reports, and more.
Previously, I served as managing editor at The Takeout and beer editor at DRAFT Magazine, and co-hosted a Montana-focused beer TV show called Beermuda Triangle. I’ve been interviewed by TV stations, newspapers, and magazines on the topics of beer and food, and have presented at Craft Brewers Conference, Master Brewers Association events, and at the Montana Pink Boots Society workshop.
In 2021, I received three awards from the North American Guild of Beer Writers: third place in Best Business Writing; third place in Best Commentary; and second place in Best National/International Reporting.
I’m a BJCP-certified beer judge and live in Missoula, Montana.
