I grew up in the Boston area and graduated from the University of Vermont, where I majored in environmental studies and minored in food studies. I spent my junior year in Montana and Thailand with the Wild Rockies Field Institute and Wildlands Studies. For my capstone, I interned for the Squam Lakes Association.
I returned to Burlington, VT afterward, met my future partner working together at a natural foods store, and graduated from a yoga teacher training. I also found a passion for writing, photography and blogging during the years after college.
In 2016, we downsized into a 13' 1977 Trillium camper, spent four months traveling the country and fell hard for Oregon. We parked in Eugene where I enrolled at UO in the journalism master's program.
I graduated from the SOJC in 2018, moved to Long Island for a summer copyediting internship at Newsday (Dow Jones News Fund), and came back to Eugene to work at The Register-Guard where I was an editorial assistant editor and a food, drink and dining reporter. In March of 2020, I returned to UO as a communications generalist for the Office of the Provost and have since worked in the College of Arts and Sciences and most recently, in the Clark Honors College.
In my free time I can be found snowboarding at Willamette Pass, hiking the McKenzie River trail or hunting for mushrooms on the coast, dancing at the Cuthbert, practicing yoga or putzing in the garden with my toddler.
