I am a freelance writer specializing in long-form and narrative journalism. I have a special interest in the criminal justice system, substance use and addiction, HIV/AIDS, and other public health issues affecting the underserved and disenfranchised. I also write news, book reviews, and short features, and have been known to write enthusiastically about music, politics, the radio, and other interesting stuff. Thanks for stopping by to take a look at my work.
