I’m originally from Louisville, Kentucky but I’ve called Los Angeles home for a very long time. I’m a versatile writer who used to work in documentary and feature films but as a new parent at the height of the 2015 California drought, I experienced a sense of panic around the existential threat posed by the climate crisis. That year I made the switch to solutions-oriented science and environmental journalism and I’ve never looked back.
Politics is inevitably bound up in those issues and as a political junkie, I enjoy covering that side of the issues as well. I’m also an accomplished photographer and videographer and I enjoy providing photos and media content to accompany my articles when feasible. I’ve published in The Washington Post, The Atlantic, The New Republic, Vice, National Geographic, Popular Science, The American Prospect, The Christian Science Monitor, Slate, Discover, The Los Angeles Times, HuffPost, The Verge, The New York Times, and elsewhere.
