Before making the switch to audio journalism, I worked in newspapers for 15 years, reporting in California, Louisiana and Idaho before going overseas to cover Iraq and Afghanistan for the newspaper Stars and Stripes. I came to Boise State Public Radio in 2018 to cover firearms issues with the Guns & America project, a two-year collaboration between 10 NPR member stations examining the role of guns in American life. Since then, I’ve collaborated with BSPR on several podcast projects and done reporting and documentaries for stations and shows such as NPR, BBC and Reveal.
