Writer | Ecologist | Conservationist

My work explores science, conservation, the outdoors, and how the natural world is inextricably connected to our daily lives.

I believe that by knowing and healing the earth, we can begin to know and heal ourselves. I love a good story that resonates, moves, surprises, or inspires.

For the past decade, I’ve worked as a professional ecologist, conservationist, and science communicator.

You can find my bylines on NPS.gov and in Smokies Life, the Moab Sun News, and Asheville Citizen Times, among others. When I’m not writing, you can find me in the garden, on the trail, and always nerding out on desert ecology.
