Who is Trouncing Around?

Katie Sylvest freelances from her cabin desk overlooking the divide of Colorado.

She rode a temperamental horse through Cuba in hopes of understanding political tension before Trump cut ties there. She was surprised at the lack of sustainability practices when photographing wildlife in Costa Rica. A slew of interviews in the Balkans changed her outlook on war and human rights.

Katie traveled to Iraqi Kurdistan this year to uncover the truths about disputed lands and rights of nomadic Kurds.

Update: She is currently spending her summer following her nose on the trail of a story on the road in remote Alaska.

She has published two pieces so far. With more in the works:

“Not Iraq, Kurdistan” April 25, 2019

“Factoring College Decision Making Maturity: A Case Study of College Bound Students and How They Made Their Choices” March 19, 2015
