I’m a writer and journalist looking at the future of rural places. I’ve produced stories for The Atlantic, Harper’s, The New Yorker, and others, and my work has earned multiple awards, including a Murrow, a Fulbright, and various investigative journalism fellowships. Recently I was a Habitat for Humanity fellow in Chile, where I studied the role of traditional knowledge in rural communities recovering from wildfires.

I love working in both print and audio. I started my career reporting from South America for NPR, and later co-created Vice Audio. In addition to reporting, I continue to consult on select podcasts, with a focus on creative direction and story editing.

I’m grateful to be from a rural, working class community, whose teachings continue to shape the way I perceive and inhabit the world.
