Hello!
I have been writing about science and the environment for more than a decade. I'm especially driven to share stories of people affected by environmental change or those working toward a more sustainable future. But I'm ever curious, and will write about any number of other things, not excluding why rats are ticklish or the history of sperm science.
I have taught writing classes and workshops for students of all ages, including at Bates College, InsideClimate News’ Institute for Environmental Journalism, the Maine Writers & Publishers Alliance, The Telling Room, and elsewhere. I am a graduate of the Science Communication Program at UC Santa Cruz and have a B.S. in geology from Bates College. Before finding my way to journalism, I worked as a lab manager for the Princeton University Earth History Group.
When I’m not writing, I spend my time growing food and playing in the ocean around my home in Maine.
