About ME

I am a journalist in Washington, D.C. working for Vox. I cover climate change and Covid-19.

Previously, I wrote about the health fallout from the warming planet and political wrangling on Capitol Hill for Climatewire, part of E&E News.

I also take lots of photos.

This website is intended as a showcase rather than a CV. You can find more information about my work here:

"Croatia is the Florida of Italy" is a thing I just heard someone say unironically.

Interesting how so many players have settled in a skin fade. Maybe it's the most aerodynamic haircut.
