Writer & Editor

Hi there! I’m a Maryland-based freelance journalist who writes about science, conservation, and the outdoors. My work has appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, the Guardian, Science, Popular Mechanics, Longreads, WIRED, Field & Stream, Audubon Magazine, and National Geographic—and anthologized in The Best American Science & Nature Writing and The Year’s Best Sports Writing. My first book, SWAMP COUNTRY: FINDING REFUGE & RESILIENCE IN AMERICA’S MOST UNLOVED LANDSCAPES, will be published by Ecco.

I’ve served as a ghostwriter on memoirs published by Grand Central, GP Putnam & Sons, St. Martin’s Press, Penguin Random House, and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. My work has been nominated for a Pushcart Prize and recognized with an Edgar Award for Fact Crime from the Mystery Writers of America. I was proud to be a 2025-2026 Alicia Patterson Fellow.
