I am a Boston-based reporter, foodie and cyclist, with five-plus years of experience in professional news organizations. Before joining Forbes, I covered the environment, town and government, housing, and the arts for a small-town newspaper on Nantucket, called The Inquirer and Mirror. Previously, I reported for NPR, WBUR, WCAI and Nantucket Today. I am a graduate of the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, with a degree in political science.
