I am a science journalist and editor based in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories. I write about the environment and health.
My work has appeared in the New York Times, Hakai Magazine, Spectrum, and Yale Environment 360, among other publications. I have reported stories on the social science of rip current safety, northern communities harvesting new country foods in a changing climate, and the scientific evidence behind claims that cold plunging is beneficial for mental health. I was previously a Wilfrid Laurier University climate change journalism fellow with Cabin Radio, where I contributed reporting on Yellowknife's wildfire evacuation. The newsroom's coverage won a Canadian Association of Journalists' award for Daily Excellence. From 2019 to 2021, I was an assistant online content editor at Psychology Today. Outside of journalism, I write proposals for northern architecture projects. I grew up in Alberta, studied natural resource conservation at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, and completed a master's degree in science, health, and environmental reporting at New York University. I like writing about environmental health and justice, as well as the sometimes complicated, unexpected situations that arise when scientific ideas are put into practice. I care deeply about the quality and ethics of my work. |
