Environmental Storyteller

I write about ecology, environmental history, and climate justice. I work to bring the humanity into science, and reveal the interdependence of humans and nature.

Mass Media Fellow, 2025

American Association for the Advancement of Science 

I'm spending the summer of 2025 as an environment and science reporter for Cascadia Daily News, a local newsroom in Bellingham, Washington. I've written about everything from oysters and honeybees to immigration policies and water supply changes under climate change. 


PhD candidate

Biology and Society, Arizona State University

I research ecological grief in endangered species conservation, and am writing my dissertation as a creative nonfiction manuscript.
