I’m an editor specializing in sustainability and healthcare research
I’m also a writer, a designer, a photographer, and a general do-er.
Through all of my work, I help scientists, researchers, and thought leaders tell their stories. I am an action-oriented editor, a locally grown writer, a straight-shooting designer, and a spirited photographer. My experience spans healthcare, engineering, social sciences, arts, criminal justice, and education, and I bring that breadth of knowledge to each project. I believe in simplicity, accuracy, and reliability, and I hope you do too.
Likes: Chicago style, trivia, salted caramel
Dislikes: fussiness, inconsistency, peanut butter

Editing
I work together with authors to perfect the topics they know best to most accurately reach the broadest audience.

Writing
I’m primarily interested in covering topics that seem mundane but are actually deeply impactful—school boards, city councils, and the other institutions that make society tick.

Photography
Perfection is always just out of frame; photography is a mountain to climb over a lifetime and never quite summit.
