Biography
I'm an experienced and versatile journalist, with particular expertise in podcast and magazine production. I've reported, edited, and written on a variety of subjects—from biotech to education inequities to longform narratives—and feel comfortable working with a range of writers, styles, and forms. I'm very committed to advancing journalism through multimedia and and have experience editing and producing video and audio journalism. I'm currently cohosting a new podcast, "The Edge." I'm especially passionate about science/health reporting and hope to one day write about monkeys.
