About
I'm a freelance journalist specializing in complex, long-form feature stories (5,000+ words), typically with a science angle. My work has appeared in a wide range of magazines, including Harper's, Popular Science, Scientific American, Oxford American, Bloomberg BusinessWeek, Alaska, Boating, and many others. I'm also a professional photographer and often shoot the photos that accompany my feature stories. In addition to publishing stories in mainstream media outlets, I also publish literary essays and photo essays in respected journals such as Granta, Colors, The Baffler, A Public Space, Southern Review, Cabinet, Gettysburg Review, Virginia Quarterly Review, and most recently N+1. My online-only work includes a five-part series for Slate.com. I have reported stories from Afghanistan, Japan, Ukraine, Kuwait, Italy, and Spain, and my work has been recognized in Best American Essays and Best American Science & Nature Writing.
