Nicole Qualtieri is a long-time freelance writer and editor, in addition to being a co-founder and Editor-in-Chief of The Westrn — an outdoor publication focused on long-form storytelling. Formerly the Hunt/Fish Editor at GearJunkie, Nicole has reviewed more than 500 products and logged over 8300 hours of testing in the process. She resides in rural Montana, where she tracks bugling elk with a bow in hand each fall, cross-country skis among moose all winter, hibernates like a grizzly through spring, pummels a pair of trail runners into summer dust, and trains her horses and dogs year-round.
Find her work in Outside Magazine, USA Today, Men’s Journal, GearJunkie, MeatEater, Modern Huntsman, Backcountry Journal, EPIC Journal, Outside Bozeman, and more.
