I work primarily as an editor right now, but I also write stories as often as I can. My career as a journalist has included reporting on education and politics at the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, writing about business for The Daily Herald, curating a popular blog about culture for seattlepi.com and investigating listener-submitted questions* for KUOW in Seattle. Here’s a small sample of my work.
*My favorite one was about pink slime.
