My Story

I’m a journalist and writer specializing in environmental health and justice, climate change, and biomedicine. 

​I began my journalism career as the energy and environment reporter at the investigative news site VTDigger. In that role, I covered everything from cyanobacteria blooms to a controversial landfill expansion to solar development. In 2019, I pitched and reported a five-part series on climate change in Vermont as part of the Columbia Journalism Review's Covering Climate Now initiative. I later transitioned to the Covid-19 beat, writing in-depth analyses of the pandemic's effects on Vermont's economy.

My reporting has appeared in The Guardian, Science, Environmental Health News, PolitiFact, Waste Dive, and other outlets. I've also been a guest on NPR’s Living on Earth podcast, Sirius XM's POTUS, VTDigger's podcast the Deeper Dig, Vermont PBS, and local radio stations.

Most recently, I was the associate director of communications for the Eric and Wendy Schmidt Center at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard. ​In 2021, I received a Master's in Science Writing from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. While at MIT, I wrote a 7,000-word feature about why communities in rural Illinois are saying yes, and no, to wind projects. When I'm not working, I like to backpack, nordic ski, rock climb, and cook stews.
