I have a creative writing degree and experience publishing and teaching creative writing, but I also have fifteen years of experience as a freelance reporter for a number of regional and national magazines. I enjoy teaching all types of writing and believe students are most invested when they are able to write about something they are interested in and care about. I love witnessing students' moments of connection and discovery, whether that be through reading, writing, or experience. I am often working on my own creative writing or journalism projects, searching for those moments of discovery, connection, or surprise.

My stories and essays have appeared in The Gettysburg Review, High Desert Journal, Weber: The Contemporary West, and elsewhere. My journalism has appeared in Outside Magazine, 5280, Alaska Magazine, Modern in Denver, High Country News, and other publications.
