About me
I am an award-winning independent journalist/fact-checker based in Denver, Colorado.
I typically cover topics related to the criminal justice system, environmental issues and housing/homelessness. My recent work has appeared in ProPublica, The Guardian, Bolts, The Denver Post, The Colorado Sun and Colorado Newsline, among others.
I enjoy investigative and government accountability reporting, digging through public records and writing poetry no one will ever read.
Before going solo, I was a staff reporter for Colorado Newsline, a statewide publication based in Denver. Before that, I covered Colorado’s state legislature and other general assignments for The Colorado Sun. Prior to moving to Colorado in 2016, I worked as a staff science writer for the University of Maine’s magazine, UMaineToday.
I have a degree in biology and ecology and a master's degree in journalism. I love bugs & bread. I hate writing bios.
Currently available for assignments, fact-checking and collaborations.
Here are the services I provide:
Reporting and writing
Fact-checking and copy-editing
Assistance with investigative/data projects (including web scraping, data cleaning & analysis)
Public record requests & documents management
Data visualizations using Datawrapper and Florish
