I have been enamored with the natural world for as long as I can remember. I write about the creatures, humans included, that live in it and how they are faring in the face of unprecedented change.

I am currently the climate editor at Atmos. Previously, I was the associate editor at Eos, a AAAS Mass Media Fellow at Discover, and an NSF INTERN at Science Friday. My freelance writing has appeared in The New York Times, Hakai Magazine, New Scientist, Science, and elsewhere.

I earned my Ph.D. in Biology from Duke University in 2023.
