influenced by my childhood days of reading ranger rick, i've always wanted to work with and write about nature. growing up in a beach cottage in a coastal town, i was introduced to the power of the environment early on and i view climate change through a personal lens, which shapes all of my work.

i strive to highlight stories about environmental justice, gender, and race as they pertain to environmental issues. i believe race and gender are at the center of every environmental issue, and thus they should be at the center of all environmental journalism.

current life goal: to visit every u.s. national park. current professional goal: to be an environmental journalist, policymaker, researcher, and saturday night live writer all at once. i'll let you know how it goes.
