BIO / VALUES / SERVICES
As a writer, editor and producer, I follow curiosity and immersive empathy. The content I co-create centers the human experience, the natural world and how these forces intersect. My expertise spans the sciences and climate change, art, culture, Latin America and tourism.
>> Find my work in Discover magazine, CNN Travel, CBS News, Yale Climate Connections, SIERRA magazine, USA Today, Midwest Living, Pure Michigan, Enjoy Illinois and Visit North Carolina state travel guides, Wildsam Field Guides and various university publications. <<
I’m transgender nonbinary (they/them/elle), a Spanish speaker and a certified freediver currently based in La Paz, BCS, Mexico and Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Some of my most memorable projects involved biking 500 miles across Iowa, floating down Uganda’s Nile River and once getting clobbered by an invasive flying carp while reporting from a kayak. For more than a decade, I’ve specialized in travel, conservation, climate, public policy, social equity and psychology/neuroscience.
My career has included roles as a climate correspondent for Yale Climate Connections, the Features Editor for Discover magazine, the Travel Editor for Midwest Living magazine and the municipal reporter for The Des Moines Register. As a freelancer, I channel equal passion for enterprise journalism packages, custom studio work and creative production in documentary film, podcast and other media formats.
My diverse background allows me to flow between granular content details and big-picture vision and strategy. Services include creative direction, project management, research, editing, writing and production. My true north is creative collaboration and bold expression in all its forms. If any of this resonates with you and your needs, please say hello!
