I'm a writer, editor, and researcher. Journalism degree, MFA in creative writing. My work has spanned biography, editorial, archives, documentary, and the classroom. I wrote the life history of a Fortune 500 entrepreneur turned Kauai land conservationist. I managed communications and editorial work for Mirabai Starr, including her NYT bestseller Wild Mercy. I did outreach for documentary films — one on plastic pollution, one on Tim DeChristopher, who disrupted an illegal oil and gas lease auction and sparked a grassroots climate movement. I taught journalism to high schoolers and worked one-on-one with teenagers who needed a different kind of classroom. Earlier I ran print and television campaigns for Hewlett-Packard at Publicis & Hal Riney with a $500M annual budget. Currently researching a book about how twenty telescopes communicate to reveal the structure of the universe. Available for research, editing, writing, and personal history work.…I'm a writer, editor, and researcher. Journalism degree, MFA in creative writing.
