I currently write for the Rocky Mountain Chronicle and the Colorado Springs Independent, based respectively in Fort Collins and Colorado Springs, Colorado (rmchronicle.com and csindy.com). I contribute book and music reviews, interviews, and travel and feature pieces to them. I've been working for both newsmagazines since early 2006.

I have been published in A: The Colorado State University Literary Review, Volume III for a nonfiction memoir on club etiquette.

I have been published in The Freestone for a nonfiction travelogue on living in Wales.

I won Colorado State University's Creative and Performing Arts Award for a nonfiction essay on Lake Titcaca.

I graduated cum laude with a Bachelors of Arts degree from Colorado State University.
