Biography
I am driven, dedicated to exposing wrongs, investigating misdeeds and fighting for the little guy, wherever she may be. I have written for newspapers across The West, from Utah's capitol to California's Great Central Valley to the shores of the Pacific. My work has appeared in The New York Times, and numerous McClatchy papers, such as The Miami Herald and The Sacramento Bee. I have produced podcasts, and written everything from investigative pieces, to feature profiles and breaking news.
