Writing where policy
meets
pavement.

I'm a registered dietitian and freelance journalist. Raised in rural Minnesota but living in St. Paul, I write about food systems, housing, public health, and how Twin Cities neighborhoods actually work — usually from the inside. This is where you can catch up on my published work and occasionally find things that don't fit elsewhere. Follow along, share what resonates, or support my work directly (if that's something you're into.)
