I'm a journalist based in the San Francisco Bay Area who's recognized for connecting to people and relaying information that's vital. A 2022 Kiplinger Fellow at the Scripps School of Journalism at University of Ohio, I'm skilled at localizing climate stories and promoting solutions. My most recent nonfiction book, "GIRL WARRIORS: How 25 Young Activists Are Saving the Earth" (April 2021, Chicago Review Press), earned a Kirkus starred review ("Engaging, brilliant, and intersectional: a must for shelves everywhere."). My next book, Climate Champions: 15 Women Fighting for Your Future, is due out in 2023 (Chicago Review Press). I'm currently interviewing "Gen Z climate-change activists discuss some of the most pressing issues facing our planet," for "Unearthed" at YAHOO. I've also planned and executed live stream interviews at outlets such as The Lonely Whale.

Originally from story-rich Mississippi, I began making films with my parents' home movie camera & friends in the early '90s. Now working mostly in the world of narrative and commercial media, I spent much of my formative years living, learning & working on film/TV sets in New Orleans and abroad. Naturally curious and very inspired by travel, my passions revolve around filmmaking, writing, still photography & design, more or less the case since 6. I've spent a substantial time just roaming about everywhere with a camera as a great admirer of everyday history & the physical world and generally staying ahead of the curve. Which could explain my fascination now with all things Unreal and aerial imagery. Thanks for looking!

I'm extremely skilled at writing, script-writing, producing and I can film and basic edit.
