About

I'm Sarah, a Seattle-based storyteller inspired by everyday people. My stories have taken me to mountain summits and jail cells, on hunting expeditions and into flood-wrecked homes. I currently work as a news and features writer for REI’s Co-op Journal, writing about public policy and the outdoor industry.

My words have also appeared in Outside Magazine, the Guardian, The Daily News, Cincinnati Magazine, Observer, Occupy.com and Modern Adventure. I've won three regional awards from the Society of Professional Journalists for my feature writing and breaking news reporting.

So where can you find me without a pen? Typically, the backcountry. Just kidding—I always have a pen.
