I've sent 250 pitches in 2024 & I've only written 2 articles this month meaning I've invoiced less than $1K for April. I'm very available for work! I can write about travel, sustainability, social justice, wellness, entertainment, veganism, Latinx topics, queer issues, & more.

I watched 'The Bear' and had some big feelings to share. For @HuffPost, I wrote about how the show humanizes survivors of suicide loss. If you know me, you know this is a topic dear to my heart. So grateful to @heyerinevans for giving this piece a home. bit.ly/3PujThl

When lawyers for @WBEZ and @Suntimes spend 3 months getting secret court files unsealed, only for @fox32news to rip off the story without credit - acting as if the files magically unsealed themselves and pretending their station did actual reporting fox32chicago.com/video/12650…

Now time for a good old fashioned personal news post. Thrilled to say I'm joining @TheAtlantic as the staff climate reporter. I can't wait to be back on this beat at this wildly crucial moment.
