My work is driven by curiosity and passion for telling stories that reveal the connections between people, places, and the systems that shape them. Much of my reporting explores the complex and often overlooked relationships communities have with water across the American West — a region where aridity and scarcity are defining characteristics.
I believe everyone deserves clear, accessible information about the invisible connections that shape our world. Through field reporting, documentary research, and interviews, my goal is to bring transparency, context, depth and perspective to the topics I write about.
For six years, I was based in Reno, Nev., where I reported for The Nevada Independent. My work was recognized by the Society of Professional Journalists, Best of the West and the Society of Environmental Journalists. I also served as the president of the Nevada Press Association, working to support and advocate on behalf of outlets across the state.
My reporting has appeared in The New York Times, Smithsonian, InsideClimateNews, Sierra Magazine, Vox, and High Country News. I currently write a Substack newsletter focused on how we interact with water in the West. I am currently based in Davis, CA.
I’m always open to new ideas and collaboration. Email me to get in touch.
