I’m a writer, producer, editor, and digital expert.
After graduating from UC Berkeley, I started in local news and was then hired to launch a news site for Patch, a division of AOL. While there I won an award from AOL for being one of the top editors in the nation, and for attracting more visits/month than there were people in my region thanks to my cutting-edge digital strategies.
I left in order to shift my focus to endurance and Olympic sports coverage. And in 2015, I completed an Annenberg fellowship at USC in sports reporting, where for my thesis I created and coded a choose-your-own-adventure website that allowed users to follow different paths to becoming a pro athlete.
My work has appeared in countless publications, including espnW, Outside, Pacific Standard, Competitor, and VICE Sports. I also worked as a producer in news and science for KQED, San Francisco’s NPR station.
Today, I am the content director for Feisty Media, expanding our women’s sports and health coverage to seven podcasts and six weekly newsletters.
