More about me
I'm a radio reporter for NPR's daily science podcast "Short Wave," based in Washington, D.C. I am interested in reporting that unfolds at the community level, with a focus on politics, science, and social justice. Previously, I was NPR's 2018 "Above the Fray Fellow," reporting a multi-part series on climate change and internal migration set in Mongolia. For four years, I was a daily reporter for KCAW-Sitka, a community radio station in Alaska, and spent a year teaching and producing youth media with WNYC's Radio Rookies.
