I’m a writer and editor based in Bangor, Maine. I have more than 20 years of experience in a diverse array of media platforms. I write the Substack newsletter The Other Maine, and I am the author of “Downtown, Upriver: Bangor in the 1970s” (Islandport Press, October 2023).

I’m a Maine native and graduate of the University of Maine, and I’m a longtime chronicler of Maine and New England culture, specializing in subjects including the arts, food, history and pop culture. In addition to my work with the Bangor Daily News - where I was a writer and editor for more than 20 years - my work has appeared in publications including USA Today, Boston Magazine, Maine Magazine, the Portland Phoenix and Maine Alumni Magazine. I have extensive experience in social media, website management and video editing, as well as in radio, TV and podcasts.

I live in a 160-year-old house in Bangor with my husband, my dog and my cat.
