about.
I’m a freelance journalist based in Santa Barbara, California. I write about the environment, climate change, energy, and our relationship with the natural world. In a past life, I was a staff writer at Pacific Standard, covering both environmental and criminal justice. You can also find my work in Outside, The New Republic, Eos, Medium, and elsewhere. I have a master’s degree in science journalism and a bachelor’s in behavioral neuroscience.
