I’m a North Carolina-based reporter, editor and occasional podcaster with an interest in local politics, climate change and popular culture. From my internship at the 2008 Beijing Olympics to riding in Hillary Clinton’s press motorcade through Reno in 2016 — the last 12 years have taken me on assignments all over the country and world. I’m currently working remotely for North Country Public Radio through the end of 2020. I am available for remote editing, consulting and tape syncs. More recent enterprise work can be found under the “Latest Projects” section. There are a few audio samples below that.
When I am not out reporting, you can find me procrastibaking. If you’re ever in Salt Lake City, check out Bread Riot Bakehouse, an artisan bakery I helped launch. If you’re ever in Hendersonville, N.C., my hometown, check out Underground Baking Company, another bakery close to my heart.
