My writing has appeared in national magazines such as Discover and Newsweek and in newspapers including the Boston Globe, Daily Hampshire Gazette, New York Times and San Francisco Chronicle.

Radio features I've produced have aired nationally on programs such as All Things Considered, Justice Talking, Living on Earth, Marketplace, Morning Edition and Weekend Edition.

As a fulltime freelance journalist, I pursue stories that intrigue me. Those have included the bicycle-powered trash hauling business in Northampton, Massachusetts, the permanent sound installation at the Univesrsity of Alaska Museum of the North and increasing efforts to build houses that are more energy efficient. My favorite reporting arena is health and healthcare, with a particular interest in complementary and alternative medicine.
