About

I live for story. Love letters and long-form features, must-watch videos and driveway radio moments, spooky campfire tales or office cooler banter, I'm a sucker for a good story. I've been lucky enough to make a living relaying stories as a journalist, as has been the goal since I was an inspired 9-year-old. I've won awards for a year-long investigation into a pro golfer’s suicide, covered an Olympics, an NBA Finals, a U.S. Open, profiled Oscar winners. I’ve made deadline at Dodgers games and prep track meets alike -- including the meet where I offered my shoulder to the sobbing boy who I was learning had lost his mother, graduated from high school and run the race of his life in a matter of hours.I believe in the power of these stories and what they say about all of us.
