Subscribe to The Curious Scout
The Curious Scout is a newsletter for individuals who value community-centered stories, curiosity-driven reporting, and a deeper examination of how journalism works.
As a journalist and researcher, I dig into the social, political, and environmental issues shaping North Carolina and beyond — and I bring readers along for the ride.
Each issue offers behind-the-scenes glimpses of my reporting process, from field notes and photos to story leads and reflections that don’t always make it into print.

Subscribers get behind-the-scenes updates from my reporting, including:
Photos and moments that never make it into published stories
Field notes and reflections from the road
Sneak peeks of upcoming investigations
Links to my work in Sandhills News, The Rant, and other outlets
Whether I’m knocking on doors, combing through public records, or spending time in the communities I cover, The Curious Scout is a window into how I follow the story — wherever it leads.
The same curiosity and persistence that fuel my reporting also guide my consulting work. Through Curious Scout Consulting, I partner with organizations and newsrooms to provide:
Editorial support – from story shaping to fact-checking
Community strategy – building effective media solutions for businesses and individuals
Investigative research & disinformation analysis – deep background and clarity on complex issues
Audience engagement – helping stories reach and resonate with the right people
Subscribing to the newsletter gives you a front-row seat to my journalism, while also showcasing how those same skills can support others in doing meaningful work.
