Hi! Welcome to my website. I am a science journalist and senior editor for biology at Quanta Magazine. I assign and edit stories describing new discoveries about how life works. From 2016 through 2023 I worked at Audubon magazine, most recently as a senior editor for climate change. I also write a newsletter Warm Feelings (currently on hiatus) where I write and publish personal essays about living through climatic and ecological change.
I've worked in science and environmental journalism since 2011. In 2009 I was a biologist with a blog, and in February 2011 decided to make a career change. A decade in I'm an experienced reporter, editor, fact checker, and web producer comfortable in digital and print. I've worked at Quanta Magazine since August 2023. My past freelance clients include Popular Science, Quanta, Discover, Hakai, National Geographic, Smithsonian, Scientific American, and The Wirecutter. I graduated from Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota, with a B.A. in biology and a language concentration in Latin.
I live in Brooklyn and enjoy cycling and birding throughout the city and beyond.
