I’m a writer and audio producer based in Burlington, Vermont.

Currently, I do policy research and manage communications for the Vermont Medical Society, which advocates on behalf of Vermont's clinicians and the patients and communities they care for.

Before that, I was the science and health reporter at Vermont Public where I produced radio stories and wrote a newsletter called Out There. I’ve also been a reporter and producer in northern Michigan, New York City and Cape Cod, and taught audio production at the University of Vermont and to middle schoolers in White River Junction.

Other jobs include gardener, fact checker and science teacher. And once, I spent a summer tracking mountain goats for the U.S. Forest Service.

I studied biology at Dartmouth College and science, health and environmental reporting at New York University. My stories have appeared on NPR (All Things Considered, Here & Now, Science Friday), KFF Health News, Audubon Magazine, and elsewhere, and have picked up national and regional Murrow Awards and a Hearken’s Champions of Curiosity Award.
