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

Since 2021 I’ve worked for the Anchorage Daily News as a reporter covering a broad range of topics. My specialty is producing newsworthy and human stories from extreme environments that are hard to report on. For several months in 2020, at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic and racial justice protests, I worked as a reporter for public radio station WHYY in Philadelphia. From 2014 to 2020 I reported for Alaska Public Media covering state and local politics, the military, indigenous issues, the environment, drugs, and dog-mushing (Alaska’s official state sport) in a variety of formats — primarily radio. Additionally, I freelance print and audio pieces, as well as photographs for national outlets. I got my start in news at KNOM, a small radio station in Nome, Alaska, in 2013.

I grew up in New Haven, Connecticut, and am a proud graduate of the city’s public school system. 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.
