My storytelling focuses on outdoor culture, breaking news, and the human stories that shape rural and mountain communities. My work has appeared in The New York Times, High Country News, Climbing Magazine, Them Magazine, and more, often exploring the intersection of land, environment, justice, identity, and resilience.
I’ve covered a range of stories within recreation policy and environmental justice, from professional skiing to housing crises, and the impacts of recreational policy. My background includes awards from the California College Media Association for both breaking news and sports photography. I have awards in fact-checking, storytelling, writing, photojournalism, and editing.
Whether I'm documenting protest lines or quiet backcountry moments, I aim to cover communities and the issues that affect them equitably. I bring angles that prioritize justice for people and the environment, and explore the nuance in between.
