Professional Experience

I direct all editorial operations for Reset (www.reset.me), an independent news outlet and community for consciousness journalism, health, and wellness. Amber Lyon, Emmy Award- winning investigative journalist, photographer, filmmaker (formerly with CNN) founded Reset in 2013. I previously worked as a managing editor for the national online news outlet, AlterNet (the Independent Media Institute). I oversaw the drugs section, which is a roundup of the news and developments of the drug reform movement, focused on the injustices stemming from prohibition. A well-published freelancer, I'm particularly interested in work relating to food, drugs, personal health culture and social justice.
