I'm an award-winning journalist, writer and National Geographic Explorer focusing on the climate and biodiversity crises as well as politics. As a Nieman Fellow at Harvard, I'll spend 2023/2024 focused on improving climate change reporting.
My features, profiles and investigations appear in The New York Times, National Geographic Magazine, The Washington Post, and on CNN, among many others, and have taken me to more than 25 countries across the globe.
Having spent almost a decade in China and Southeast Asia, where I worked both as a reporter and an editor and newsroom manager, I relocated to Austria, where I'm originally from, in 2018. I've also been teaching journalism at universities across the globe, and have held workshops on science and climate journalism for my peers.

I have tracked down the world's most prolific wildlife traffickers, investigated the shady finances of extremist far-right groups and reported from Ukraine before and during the war. During the 2020 Vienna terrorist attack, I was the lead reporter for CNN digital, the Washington Post and AFP.
My writing and photography have also made the covers of multiple magazines, and I appear as an expert on TV and radio shows. Along the way, I've won multiple international awards, including for my environmental reporting and feature writing, and received numerous fellowships and grants.
I can read and translate French, hold basic conversations in Mandarin Chinese, and have forgotten most of the Russian I learned at university. Home is where the mountains are.
