I’m an environmental journalist and multimedia producer. I also teach environmental journalism at the School of Journalism and Mass Communication at UNC-Chapel Hill.
My work has appeared in Grist, Chemical & Engineering News, The Yale Forum on Climate Change & the Media, LinkTV’s “Earth Focus,” among other publications. I’ve won awards from the National Press Photographers Association, Pictures of the Year International, the Society of Professional Journalists and the Society of Environmental Journalists.
I also serve as the senior producer of the Reese Felts Digital News Project, an experimental digital news project based at UNC-Chapel Hill.
I hold a master’s degree in journalism from UNC, where as a student, I was the founding editor-in-chief of Powering A Nation, an interactive energy journalism project that won dozens of awards.
I’m based in central North Carolina, where I spend my spare time gardening and cycling.
