I am a solutions-oriented writer, editor, and public speaker working at the intersection of sustainable travel, environmental conservation, and community-based advocacy efforts. I am also the founder of Rooted.

For more than a decade, I have written for and collaborated with publications, development organizations, and international brands to amplify people, projects, and news in an increasingly noisy world. Publishers and clients count on me to deliver engaging and accessible stories that impact their audiences.

An international volunteer and election observer, passionate world traveler, and permanent expatriate and global citizen, I produce work that tackles complex issues and empowers local communities.
