As Wildfires Grow, So Could Methane Emissions in Eos

ABOUT ME

Science and Nature Writer

 I tell stories about science and the natural world for a wide audience. My stories take readers to coral reefs, deep oceans, hot deserts, flowering meadows, and inside rocks from other planets. The main characters are animals and plants, microbes and molecules, scientists and the rest of us.

I have written for institutions, blogs, and in magazines as a freelancer, intern, and volunteer. My volunteer writing has been featured in the ScienceBites blogs and the Matthaei Botanical Gardens and Nichols Arboretum newsletter.
