ReporterAs a general assignment reporter, I cover a little bit of everything. I’ve interviewed senators and second graders alike. I particularly enjoy reporting on stories that exist at the intersection of more narrowly defined beats, such as the health impact on children of changing school meals policies, or how regulatory changes at the Public Utilities Commissions affect older people on fixed incomes.
I’m also interested in environmental stories, especially those that capture how Granite Staters interact with the land in surprising ways. This might look like squabbles over building a carbon offset site on a logging tract, or how developers are trying to build ecofriendly housing at affordable rates. I like to investigate how traditional notions of New Hampshire as a rural state push up against its ever-evolving 21st century reality.
Some areas of continued coverage of mine include housing, agriculture, forestry, and food insecurity.
