I’m an award-winning health and investigative reporter with a passion for uncovering what’s going on within the health care industry and how that impacts everyday citizens. I spent two years working alongside a small team of journalists at The Lever working to hold those in power accountable.
As a freelancer, I’ve covered everything from my missing left temporal lobe and how the neural networks critical for language managed to rewire themselves, to how Medicaid and insurance plans under the Affordable Care Act not covering the basic care needed by many transgender Americans, to how the COVID-19 pandemic forced paramedics in rural Colorado to transport patients greater distances due to a lack of nearby hospital beds. My work has appeared in High Country News, KFF Health News, Knowable Magazine, Nature Magazine, The New York Times, Science Magazine, Scientific American, Slate, Smithsonian Magazine, WIRED and more.
