Hi! I’m a science writer & editor newly based in New Orleans, and a contributing editor at Brooklyn Botanic Garden. My work has appeared in publications like The New York Times, Popular Science, The New Republic, VICE Magazine, and Scholastic’s Science World.
From 2022-2024 I was a staff editor at Brooklyn Botanic Garden, shaping stories for web and collaborating on exhibitions. I received a master’s degree in science journalism at Columbia University in May 2020, and before that I was a senior writer at Jezebel, where I wrote about politics, pop culture, and fireflies.
