I’m an Alaska-based journalist with a background in in public radio, podcast production, and photography, now working primarily in print.

Since 2021, reported for the Anchorage Daily News on a variety of topics, including local government, military operations in the Arctic and Pacific, wildlife and fisheries, dog mushing, and breaking news. My specialty is news features on complex issues reported from extreme environments that are hard to access. In addition to reporting for national and international outlets, I’ve appeared as a guest on public radio shows, podcasts, and television news programs. To get in touch about reporting assignments or booking, please email me.

In my freelance career I’ve launched multiple podcasts, producing shows both for small, local outlets and larger corporate clients. Feel free to reach out to discuss potential projects.

From 2014 to 2020 I worked as a reporter for Alaska Public Media covering many of the same issues I’m still focused on today. I regularly contributed features and spot news to NPR and its flagship programs, including Morning Edition and All Things Considered, particularly on military issues as part of the Back At Base project. I got my start in journalism at KNOM, a small radio station in Nome, Alaska, in 2013. For several months in 2020 I worked at WHYY in Philadelphia covering the COVID-19 pandemic, mass protests, and Pennsylvania elections before moving back to Alaska.

I grew up in New Haven, Connecticut, and graduated from Wilbur Cross High School and the Educational Center for the Arts. I was an exchange student in Adana, Turkey before attending Harvard University, where I earned a B.A. in Social Studies in 2012, writing an honors thesis on the history of sunglasses.
