After years as a writer, editor, and CD working with top nonprofits, I've gotten pretty good at using words and images to tell compelling stories that inspire change: My work has helped animal shelters find new homes for pets, protected Alaska’s grizzlies, led to the designation of national parks, and supported people returning home from prison.

I’ve held full-time editorial roles at The Humane Society of the United States, Child Welfare League of America, National Parks Conservation Association, and National Geographic. Clients for my agency-side work include Aspen Institute, Home Planet Fund (Patagonia), International Rescue Committee, United Way, and Smithsonian. And I’ve profiled dozens of brilliant designers and illustrators for Adobe publications, too.

When I’m not at the keyboard, I’m usually biking through Rock Creek Park, watching a documentary, making pizza, or strolling around Navy Yard with my pitbull mix, Luna.
