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

​

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.
