I'm a freelance who writes for local, statewide and national outlets covering an array of issues.
I write for local, regional and national publications, including Architect's Newspaper, Arts and Culture Texas, CityLab, D Magazine, Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Texas Architect, Landscape Architecture Magazine and Quorum Report.
Before going freelance, I was the community calendar editor and a staff writer for the Dallas Voice, a LGBTQ weekly newspaper and an assistant editor and reporter for Truthout.org.
While at the Voice, my work prompted a lawsuit in Colorado, forced a school board member to resign, and prompted a city to rewrite its nondiscrimination ordinance, among other accomplishments. The criminal justice blog Grits for Breakfast called my coverage of needle exchange legislation during the 84th legislative session "possibly the best." My commentary on that session earned me two awards: I came in second place for a Society of Professional Journalists Fort Worth’s 2016 First Amendment Award for commentary on open government and a Houston Press Club Lone Star Award for internet commentary. They were my first awards since eighth grade.
