about

Hi! I’m Susan, a journalist who loves ramen, mountains, and garage sales. For the past decade, I’ve followed my curiosity all over the world, writing about everything from snail mail to Lunchables to holotropic breathing. 

In 2022, I joined The New York Times as a reporting fellow for Headway. In this role, I reported on solutions to some of the world’s most pressing challenges. For the second year of my Headway fellowship, I was embedded at High Country News, a nonprofit magazine that’s covered the Western U.S. for more than 50 years. I then carried out my dream of becoming a public radio reporter, working at Northwest Public Broadcasting in rural Washington. 

I’ve since returned to freelancing, and am always open to new opportunities.
