I am an independent journalist with a particular interest in environmental and climate stories.
In addition to freelance reporting, I also write the weekly Warning Wire column for the nonprofit investigative news outlet, FairWarning. In 2018, I completed the Columbia University Lede Program for Data Journalism. (For examples of my data-driven work, you can visit my student project page.) Prior to that, I was the managing editor of the civic tech news site Civicist.
Originally from Emporia, Kansas, I now live and work in Brooklyn, New York. When not writing from my couch, I am an enthusiastic hiker, backpacker, and rooftop gardener. I chronicle some of these outdoor adventures in my newsletter, Pinch of Dirt.
