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.

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.
