I graduated from The Evergreen State College in 2006 with a Bachelor of Arts in English. My studies were writing intensive and included an 18-credit journalism internship with a Pulitzer prize-winning alt weekly. The officials at Evergreen insist I averaged a 4.0, despite the institution’s policy of not handing out grades.

Awards I’ve won include Best Breaking News Photo, Best Editorial, Montana Newspaper Association Contest (2021, 2018, 2016); Winner, Rivet Magazine Serial Fiction Contest (2006); Best Eyes, Ellsworth Elementary Yearbook (1980).
