Hello!

I'M A FREELANCE ENVIRONMENTAL JOURNALIST with a special interest in climate, conservation and culture.

In the time I've spent covering science, I've filmed researchers chasing down endangered geckos in South Florida for Mongabay; written about the science behind birdsong for The New York Times; and uncovered environmental health crises in Florida such as PFAS contamination, septic tank leakages, and red tide research for the Pulitzer Center, WUFT News, Miami Herald and more.

Beyond news stories, I have an eye for narrative storytelling, a knack for rigorous fact-checking, and an ongoing love for multimedia and print storyelling. And I'm always looking for excuses to take my work abroad, using my proficiency in French and beginner's level Swahili along the way. I have had the great fortune of traveling to eleven countries and four continents so far, and I cannot wait to continue exploring our beautiful planet. 

I earned my master's degree from NYU's Science, Health and Environmental Reporting Program, and I graduated from the University of Florida (Go Gators!) with my bachelor's degree in journalism and a specialization in wildlife ecology and conservation. Every so often, the Biscayne Bay breeze brings me home for a serene paddle through the mangroves.
