About me

Making the complex understandable

Making the complex understandable

I strive to tell engaging and accessible stories about science, health, and technology to make the future everyone’s. A self-starter and go-getter, my storytelling journey started when I founded The Ubyssey’s science section and I’ve been chasing bigger and more complex stories ever since.

Writing

Toilet paper math, world record setting robots, college sex — I’ve covered science hiding in sight for The Ubyssey, Casper Star-Tribune, CommonHealth, and NPR.

Editing

I learned to write and edit at Canada’s best journalism school, The Ubyssey where I worked as the sports editor and founded the science section.

Photography

From the Greek Islands to inside a whale skeleton to avoiding footballs, my camera has taken me around the world telling weird and wonderful stories.

Videography

In a studio, camping in northern British Columbia or on-the-scene reporting, I’m experienced telling stories in front of and behind a camera.
