I cofounded The Evergrey, a local media project that's out to help Seattleites make the most of their city and is a local brand of WhereBy.Us, a media startup that builds local media brands for growing cities. I'm now the storytelling director at WhereBy.Us where I help oversee the editorial strategy across our local brands.

Previously I was the engagement editor for The Seattle Times Education Lab project. Before that I was the director of product at Chalkbeat, an award-winning nonprofit education news organization with bureaus in New York, Indiana, Tennessee and Colorado. At Chalkbeat I managed internal and external products, including five WordPress websites, a WordPress plug-in that helped track journalistic impact, daily and weekly e-mail newsletters, and special projects.

I graduated from the City University of New York Graduate School of Journalism with a master's degree in business and economics reporting and from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a bachelor's degree in journalism.

I've been published on California Watch (now part of the Center for Investigative Reporting), msnbc.com, Salon, the New York Daily News, DNAinfo.com, Narrative.ly and others.

Specialties: writing, researching, blogging, online media, video, audio, video and audio editing, project planning and execution, product management.
