I am a Massachusetts-based freelance sports writer with 12 years of experience covering three Olympic sports: women’s hockey, gymnastics and figure skating.
For the last 12 years, I have covered the growing sport of women’s hockey, especially women’s college hockey. I have covered the game for the Boston Globe, Boston Herald, New England Hockey Journal, Newburyport Daily News, USCHO, and BU Today. Since 2021, I have written a weekly women’s college hockey column for the Globe. In 2023, I began writing about the Premier Hockey Federation’s Boston Pride. Later that year, I covered the establishment of PWHL Boston. I am also a voter for several national and regional women’s college hockey polls and awards.
I have covered a variety of gymnastics events and topics over the last 12 years. I have covered four U.S. Gymnastics Championships (2013, 2014, 2015 and 2018.) I have also covered the last 11 seasons of Massachusetts high school gymnastics. Over the last decade, I have been proud to write multiple features on notable men’s gymnasts, including Fred Richard, Eddie Penev and Stephen Nedoroscik. Since 2017, I’ve been researching and writing about the decline in high school gymnastics across the United States, especially as it relates to boys’ gymnastics.
Figure skating was my childhood love, and I’m proud to have covered several U.S. Figure Skating Championships, the 2016 World Figure Skating Championships, 2022 Skate America, and several smaller skating events. Since 2014, I have written the majority of local figure skating coverage that has run in Boston’s two major newspapers. In 2023, I also had the first in-depth media interview with U.S. Figure Skating’s new CEO, Tracy Marek. Also in that year, I started my own figure skating Substack called Edges and Execution.
Outside of my three specialties, I have covered multiple Boston Marathons and the dominant Boston College women’s lacrosse program, including my 2019 oral history of the program in New England Lacrosse Journal. In 2013, a college baseball feature of mine was honored by the College Baseball Hall of Fame.
Outside of sports writing, I am an administrative assistant and grant writer for a private school. Over the last three years, my grant writing (both at work and for organizations in my town) has earned organizations and programs over $350,000.
