My writing and research focuses on water, public land, mining and energy. In addition to long-term projects, I write a frequent newsletter focused on water in the Western U.S.

I believe that everyone should have access to information about the forces and systems that shape our daily lives, often in invisible ways. Through interviews and reporting in the field, I’ve worked to explain complex issues, provide transparency, improve accountability and explore the many ways people and communities relate to water, land and energy.

For six years, I worked as an environmental reporter for The Nevada Independent, where my work was recognized by the Society of Professional Journalists, Best of the West and the Society of Environmental Journalists. During that time, I served as president of the Nevada Press Association, working to support and advocate on behalf of outlets across the state.

My environmental writing has been published in The Nevada Independent, The New York Times, Smithsonian, InsideClimateNews, Sierra Magazine, Vox and High Country News. I am currently based in Davis, CA, where I am working toward a master’s in environmental policy.

I’m always looking for ideas or ways to collaborate. Email me to get in touch.
