I’m a journalist based in Burlington, Vermont.

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

Previously, I worked as 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’m a graduate of NYU’s Science, Health and Environmental Reporting Program and studied biology at Dartmouth College. My work has been featured on NPR, Here & Now, Science Friday, and KFF Health News. My stories have won national and regional Murrow Awards, a Hearken’s Champions of Curiosity Award, and my first film project was recognized at the New York Wild Film Festival and the Environmental Film Festival at Yale.
