F e a t u r e s

I write narrative features that explore the intricate details of people’s lives. I traveled to drought-stricken rangeland in New Mexico to interview struggling ranchers. I also trained with the U.S. Forest Service to become a certified wildland firefighter, and I joined firefighters in the mountains of New Mexico to provide a firsthand account of massive wildfires. In the summer of 2003, I served on a firefighter crew that recovered fragments of the space shuttle Columbia after it exploded over Texas and Louisiana. In a feature for the Washingtonian, I highlighted the work of the D.C. police’s Cold Case Unit and a decade-old unsolved murder. After the story was published, the woman’s former boyfriend was convicted even though her body was never found. I also write about psychology issues for the Monitor on Psychology, and I provide analysis of scientific journal articles for the American Psychological Association.
