I’m a writer and editor who’s passionate about outdoor adventure, conservation, and clean copy.

I’m currently the digital editor of Dartmouth Alumni Magazine, where I write and edit articles in addition to managing DAM’s website and social media channels. I’m also a contributing editor at Outside, where I manage the magazine’s online editorial packages and occasionally review gear.

Editors at other publications, from AFAR to the Wall Street Journal, often reach out with freelance reporting assignments that I’m excited to take on when my schedule allows. 

When I’m not working, I like to train for endurance events and am always looking for ways to spend more time on trails with my dog. I’m based in Santa Fe, NM, but travel east when I can for in-person meetings with my colleagues at Dartmouth.

  • If you’re wondering how I got into journalism: It started with DAM. I landed an internship at Dartmouth’s award-winning alumni magazine during my senior year at the College, and my work there helped me get into the Atlantic Media Company’s competitive editorial fellowship program the following year.

    As an editorial fellow at The Atlantic from 2013-2014, I pitched and wrote stories about everything from climate change on Mount Everest to exploding whales on beaches around the world. In 2014, I started working at Quartz. For several years I was one of the wordsmiths behind the mega-successful Quartz Daily Brief email, and in 2016 I helped launch the Quartz iPhone app. Writing and editing for the app was thrilling—it was a heady mix of GIFs, photos, witty text, links, emoji, and push notifications each day—but exhausting.

    In 2017 I left Quartz (and New York City) to join Outside Magazine in Santa Fe, NM, as a social media editor. In that role, I had more email newsletters to send and witty bursts of text to compile—plus more writing about Everest and a lot of strategic thinking about how Outside could expand its audience. The opportunity to return to DAM came up in 2019, requiring a move from Santa Fe to New Hampshire that I reversed in 2021 after the normalization of remote work.
