Arts and Culture Reporter

Maggie covers all things arts and culture for Denverite. She’s interested in stories about art that reflects and engages with issues Denverites care about, as well as off-beat stories about things like death and pogs. Before landing in Denver, she lived in metro Chicago, Baltimore, Dublin, a tiny island off the coast of Alaska and New York City, and has written for Hot Press Magazine andThe A.V. Club. She spends her time off paddling, hiking, exploring the city and picking up and quickly dropping new hobbies — most recently, knitting.
