I'm a journalist at the Investigative Reporting Program at UC Berkeley, where I cover climate, environment, health, aging, and child welfare.

When I'm not reporting or writing, you can find me running trails in the Berkeley Hills or working on a new craft project.

My work has appeared in the New York Times, STAT News, Grist, KQED, Sierra Magazine, Atlas Obscura, The Sunday Long Read, and Bay Nature and is forthcoming in Discover Magazine. Check out some of my recent stories below.
