As a journalist, I write, edit, and fact-check for online and print publications, including Hakai Magazine, Delta Sky Magazine, Penobscot Bay Press, Bangor Daily News, and GearLab. I focus on environmental topics and strive to make complex science and policy issues accessible and easy to understand.
I care about the environment because it keeps us alive and because blue and green spaces pull me into focus. I’m interested in how others find that narrowed , whether it’s time outside or pursuing their craft, so I write about people and their work too.
I also test and write reviews of outdoor and tech gear. My background in science makes it fun to design testing protocols and helping people buy the right product the first time makes the most of our money and resources.
Here are some examples of my work
