Vaping’s everywhere on campus. What are we college kids getting ourselves into?
Boston Globe Magazine | April 24, 2019
Regular smokers often pick up the habit in their mid-teens, and in 2018 only about 8 percent of high school students had smoked a cigarette in the past 30 days. But that doesn’t mean my generation has kicked the habit.
ABOUT ME
Let's connect!
I am an associate editor at Endpoints News, a startup covering the biopharma industry. In addition to reporting on a variety of breaking news and special projects, I run the @endpts Twitter account. Wondering what's going on with the top players in the race to develop Covid-19 vaccines? Check out my vaccine tracker.
Before Endpoints, I covered breaking news and general assignment stories at the Lowell Sun. In the early days of the pandemic, I wrote about calls for transparency as Covid-19 swept through two local nursing homes. I reported from the scene of a Pelham, N.H., church shooting, which left a bishop seriously injured. I wrote about one centenarian sculptor who still has a hand in the family business. And I shared a firsthand account of what it's like to get tested at one of the state's Stop the Spread Covid-19 test sites.
I also helped launch the Daily Sunrise, a curated newsletter which gained more than 1,000 new subscribers in just a few months.
I'm a proud University of Massachusetts Amherst graduate with a degree in journalism and a minor in information technology. I've also written for the Boston Globe Magazine, Daily Hampshire Gazette, and Worcester Telegram & Gazette. When I'm not working on a story, you'll find me kayaking, or lost in a good book.
