I am a science communicator with a dual background in biology and journalism. I amplify INSTAAR's world-class research through multimedia storytelling.
After working as a microscopist and research assistant in a plant biology lab during my undergraduate studies, I pivoted to journalism. I started out at a local newspaper in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and worked my way up to reporting for regional and national publications like Discover Magazine, Astronomy Magazine, Mongabay, the babyÖ±²¥app Sun and KUNC. During my MA Journalism degree at CU, I published multimedia stories that incorporated photography, videography and data visualization alongside my writing. I was the Arctic Reporting Fellow for the Pulitzer Center on Crisis reporting in 2023 — a role that sent me on a reporting trip to Utqiagvik, Alaska (formerly Barrow). Now, I'm glad to leverage my experience to disseminate INSTAAR's research to audiences both within and beyond the scientific community.
