Posts by Dr. Michelle Dally

Dr. Michelle Dally is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, lawyer and veterinarian. In the ’80s, she helped write key legislation regarding AIDS education, testing and research in the U.S. Senate.

In the ’90s, she worked as managing editor of 5280 magazine, staff writer for Westword and capitol bureau reporter for The Denver Post. In the new millennium, she co-founded and ran a communications consulting firm for nonprofits. In her 40s, after raising 4 boys to adulthood, she became a veterinarian and moved to Colorado's Western Slope, where she ran her own mobile mixed-animal practice, treating yaks, llamas, cows, horses, goats, sheep, dogs and cats. Her novel, "A Highly Placed Source," explores the intersection of media, politics and faith.
