Joined Atlas Obscura in 2023
I’m a Colorado-based journalist crafting more than 75 stories annually for outlets including Fodor’s, Newsweek, 5280, Spoke + Blossom, Colorado Expression, Mountain Town, Island Soul, Beach Town, WELL, and many more. With bylines in over 100 print publications, I’ve spent more than a decade at the forefront of Colorado’s agritourism storytelling. My reporting thrives at the intersection of field, farm, forest, and forage—where the land speaks, and the stories grow wild. When I’m not on assignment, I’m chasing adventure (and snacks) with my three kids, two pandemic pups, and one trail-loving husband.
