I am also a licensed attorney in Pennsylvania, with a background in commercial litigation. As a journalist at InsideClimate News, I report on the legal, political, and social aspects of environmental issues around the world. From Brazil, Ecuador, Argentina and Europe, among other places, I have covered topics such as climate litigation, human rights, biodiversity, Indigenous rights, and environmental justice.
