I’m a freelance science journalist with experience covering disease, climate, the environment, geology, space and biology. My work has appeared in Science, Nature, NPR, OPB, and Axios.

I’ve written for all audiences, from academics to five-year-olds. I love to write, but also produce radio and video.

I believe that any story can be exciting if you find the right person to tell it to you: I like to tell stories that make you look twice at the world around you. I’ve written about the reason so many bridges are green, the hidden prehistoric mammals beneath suburban Oregon homes, emerging research on the the furthest exoplanets, and how selection bias in COVID-19 contact tracing leads to bad public policy.

My work has appeared on radio and television in four countries. I won two regional Emmys for my production work on OPB’s flagship outdoor show, Oregon Field Guide.

I took the long road to journalism. I started in the lab, where I studied the impacts of climate change on disease-carrying mosquitoes. I cut my science communication teeth over four years, working in museum design and live presentations at the Boston Museum of Science and New England Aquarium. I was a researcher on a team of artists and educators designing cross-platform content that ran both online and in rotating exhibits. I designed and presented hands-on activities and live demonstrations, and dissected a lot of hearts.

I’m excited to bring my storytelling skills to all audiences and all ages, regardless of medium.
