I'm an award-winning journalist, writer, educator and public speaker focusing on the climate and biodiversity crises as well as politics. As a Nieman Fellow at Harvard, I spent 2023/2024 focused on improving climate change reporting, then joined the Miami Herald to report from the frontlines of climate change.
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. I now share my work experience in the journalism classes I teach at Florida International University and at Harvard, and in workshops and as public speaker at conferences across the globe.

I have reported on Hurricanes Helene and Milton, 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.
