Hi! I’m a writer & editor newly based in New Orleans. My work has appeared in publications like The New York Times, Popular Science, The New Republic, VICE Magazine, and Scholastic’s Science World.
I’m currently a contributing editor at Brooklyn Botanic Garden, where I worked as a staff editor on-site from 2022-2024, shaping stories for web and collaborating on exhibit signage. 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.
