Here's a story for you:
Once, a newbie journalist landed a freelance gig with a major international publication. That journalist then (foolishly) believed that this meant they could quit their full-time journalism job at a small, independently owned paper in Wareham, Massachusetts.

They learned the hard way that this was a foolish decision indeed — but, fortunately, the stars aligned in this journalist's favour.

Almost 10 years' worth of freelancing later, I am not doing the kind of journalism I have always wanted to do: investigative work peppered with a healthy dose of photojournalism to feed my artsy side.

As a freelance journalist, I've won several awards for my work, beating out several big-name media outlets, including The Seattle Times and KUOW, our local NPR station. I have written for international, national, and local publications, including Vice, The Business Journals, and Al Jazeera English.

I currently write about police and government accountability for the South Seattle Emerald, but am open to writing about anything and everything, from business and fintech to food and culture. Please don't hesitate to reach out! I would love to hear from you.
