I'm a freelance writer and editor based in Alaska. My work has appeared in National Geographic, Condé Nast Traveler, Fodor's, the New Zealand Herald, Outside Online, Discover Silversea, and many more. I have an irrepressible zest for life and passion for exploration: I have been body-slammed by a masked luchador, done my best Steve Urkel impression in hip-hop classes, and narrowly escaped being tossed upside-down into a pool in a simulated airplane fuselage, all in pursuit of a good story. And I can't wait to do it again!
Unique traits: Trilingual (English, Latin American Spanish, some Irish). Seasoned outdoorswoman. Trained martial artist. Traditional Irish dancer, including "old style" step dancing and sean-nós. Accomplished social dancer in multiple styles. Plays traditional Irish music on diatonic button accordion.
