Her work has also been published in a number of outlets including The Federalist, The Freeman, and Tri-State Livestock News. She is a frequent guest on podcasts and radio and TV shows to speak on issues impacting the American West and independent agriculture.

In January 2024 she was selected as a fellow in the Palladium Pictures documentary incubator in Washington, D.C. headed by Michael Pack, appointed by President Donald Trump as CEO for the US Agency for Global Media.
