I'm an environmental journalist and photographer currently based in Anchorage, Alaska. Thanks for checking out my website!
As of 2025 I write the twice-weekly Stream newsletter for Circle of Blue and share the stories and research of the International Arctic Research Center's Alaska Climate Adaptation Science Center. When time allows, I continue to seek and write freelance assignments.
I'm passionate about contextualizing science, society, and climate change through the lenses of kitchen tables, fresh waters, and wallets. I've been fortunate to follow stories of this ilk into caribou migrations along the Arctic Ocean, fish camps on the Yukon River, lightning storms in Alabama's Tornado Alley, and crab boats in western Washington state. Outside of the environmental sphere I love to report on music and art. My on-again, off-again music blog is called Navy Peer. I doodle giraffes, too.
My reporting has appeared in Sierra, Smithsonian, Discover, and The Progressive magazines; WFMT Chicago, Grid News, Alaska Native News, Atlas Obscura, and other publications.
I grew up on Chicago's Northwest side. My poetry and fiction live there, exploring themes of masculinity, loneliness, fatherhood, and collective memory.
I graduated from Northwestern University in 2021 with a double major in journalism and poetry, and in 2022 with a master's degree in environmental, health, and science reporting. I'm grateful to have received university awards for work in both disciplines.
