About:
I am a writer and a radio journalist based in Boston with a specialty in climate change and the environment. I am interested in environmental justice, and how communities experience and adapt to environmental change. I think climate change is the justice issue of our time, and telling its story, again and again, in a human-centered way, is part of the solution.
I am also a passionate audio journalist and storyteller.
I currently work as a radio producer for The World, a co-production between PRX and GBH. I have worked as a local news radio reporter for GBH News in Boston and Worcester, MA, and I have also worked at KQED in San Francisco. I was a 2017 AAAS Mass Media Fellow at KQED Science. I have a Master of science degree from McGill University in Montreal, Canada where I studied ecology and sustainability.
