About Me

I am a science communicator who specializes in environmental issues.

To me, scientific knowledge has been a source of amazement and a powerful problem-solving tool. As a kid growing up in northern California, I studied ecology to learn more about what made our redwood forests so special. As a young adult, I was a backcountry guide in the northern Rocky Mountains, where I studied geology to better understand how the incredible landscape around me formed. Later on, when a serious injury took me away from the work I loved and left me with years of chronic pain, I studied kinesiology to find the root of that pain and get better.

My understanding of scientific research has had a transformative impact on my life, and I owe that understanding to effective science communicators. I have chosen to become one to help others have similar experiences.
