I’m a climate journalist, and for the last eight years, I’ve been writing about nature’s capacity to carry on, humans included.

My stories and photos bear witness to communities navigating change with a fierce sense of protection and care. You’ll find them in The Guardian, Mother Jones, Wired, Inside Climate News, Architectural Digest, The New Republic, and Metropolis.

In 2024-25, I’m reporting as a grantee of the IWMF Kim Wall Memorial Fund. (And here’s a wonderful archive of Kim’s own work.)

I’m grateful for other writing grants over the years too—project funding from the Overseas Press Club, The Delacorte Review, and the Society of Environmental Journalists, as well as a scholarship to Columbia Journalism School, where I completed a master’s degree in 2019.

Before all this, I worked as a public radio reporter and host, a documentary producer, and a speechwriter.

Thank you for having a look at our world’s dangers, comebacks, and resounding beauty with me.
