I'm a newspaper reporter (believe it or not, that is still a thing) working for the daily here in Spokane. I love telling stories and meeting new people, partly so my old friends don't get stuck hearing about my adventures over and over, but mostly because I find everyone's experiences and quirks fascinating.

In my spare time, I'm a roller derby girl and skate with the Snake Pit Derby Dames in Coeur D'Alene.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been lucky enough to have an amazing life full of moments of wonder. Highlights include wolf tracking camp in northern Idaho, a week deep in the Amazon at the biological research station, two backpacking trips in the Glacier Peak wilderness and several trips to canyon country in southeastern Utah.
