Haven't done visual art in a while. Feels good to put pen to paper sometimes. #KilroyforPresident #KilroyWasHere #washingtonpost #washingtonpostexpress #VoteforNoOne

Tear Sheet: Washington Post Express "Skip to their loo"

Last week my latest piece for the Washington Post Express hit the stands- this time showing readers some of the more private quarters of restaurants and bars across the city.

Having just started a master's in journalism, I've been doing an incredible amount of writing the past month. Being able to do a piece that was photo-centric was a nice reprieve from working on more writing-intensive pieces. 

An extended version of the quiz is available on the online version- take the test to see how well you know your DC thrones!

Tear Sheet: Washington Post Express "The Daiquiri: It's One Part D.C."

Before I left for Japan I was faced with a whirlwind of freelance projects that kept me working right up until a few hours before I stepped on the plane. I count myself as lucky for having such a schedule.

The product one of these said projects was my latest piece for the Washington Post Express. 

Delving into the history and modern day life of daiquiris was not only a tasty, tasty assignment to complete- it was a fun derivation from my usual food pieces. 

Much to the woes of my inner travel-bug, I am back home in D.C. I couldn't be more excited to get a jump on the stories and ideas that have been brewing in my brain these last few weeks.

  As always, a huge thank you to my editor, Holley Simmons. My life & faith in myself wouldn't be the same without her patience, guidance and care.

Tear Sheet: Washington Post Express "A Plant That Leaves a Mark"

This week my latest piece for the Washington Post Express came out, with a gorgeous layout courtesy of the paper's amazing designers.  

Reading back through the piece I can't help but laugh at just how many stinging nettles I ate that week. 

A big thank you to all of the chefs, cooks and restaurants for whipping me up their nettle dishes- and of course a huge thank you to my editor, Holley Simmons, for her continued patience and guidance.

Tear Sheet: Washington Post Express "High Brau Artwork"

This past week I had my latest piece for the Washington Post Express on stands. I consider myself incredibly privileged to be able to write about the local art and beer community all in one piece- while learning more about the history of DC at the same time! 

A digital version of the piece can be found here, or crammed between the uncleaned metro seats of our Nation's Capital. 

I look forward to my next published piece in the Express, which will be out sooner than you know it. In the meantime I anxiously await a few secret projects that should be hitting stands shortly; I can't wait to share them with you.

As always a huge thank-you goes to the Washington Post Express Dining Editor, Ms. Holley Simmons, for her incredible direction, patience and faith in my ideas. Also a big thank you to the fine folks of DC Brau & Graham Jackson for taking time out of their busy schedules to chat with me about their passions and projects.
