I'm a Chicago-based environmental reporter covering the intersections of climate, energy and policy for several national science magazines. I'm also a journalism student in Northwestern University's Accelerated Master's Program, where I recently earned my BSJ and am planning to pursue my MSJ in Health, Environment and Science reporting in 2025. I'm passionate about reporting on politics, climate and social justice issues, and I have a strong background in editing and investigative work.
