I’m a writer and reporter who has worked in radio, television, and print. Most recently, I spent a little less than three years as half of the two-person news team at KOTO, a community radio station in Telluride, CO, where I reported on the COVID-19 pandemic, the environment, the local economy, arts, countless government meetings, and just about anything else you can imagine happening in a Colorado ski town. My work has also aired on NPR stations in Los Angeles and Boston as well as on the PRX shows The Kitchen Sisters Present and Living on Earth. I was also a writer for the PBS show Articulate where I wrote about creative people and how they see the world.

My Articulate co-writers and I were nominated for a 2022 Emmy Award for Outstanding Writing Team for a Daytime Non-Fiction Series. My radio work has also been honored with awards from the Radio Television Digital News Association and the Colorado Broadcasters Association.

My academic background is, broadly, in Environmental Studies and Science and Technology Studies. As a 2022 recipient of a Gates Cambridge Scholarship, I was able to pursue an MPhil in Anthropocene Studies at the University of Cambridge. The scholarship is awarded based on academic excellence, leadership, and a commitment to improving the lives of others. I received my B.A. in Environmental Science & Public Policy from Harvard University, where I graduated summa cum laude.

When I’m not writing or reporting, I’m probably reading, hiking, practicing piano, or listening to musical theater soundtracks.
