I write about and report on sustainable design, energy efficiency, food systems, conservation and climate change, as well as other energy and environment topics that grab my attention. Broadly speaking, I’m most excited about my coverage when I write about how to untangle knotty problems that block potentially substantial solutions or I can explain how moderate-effort projects at home can help improve our world.

I also write a daily morning newsletter focused on energy and climate policy for Energy News Network. You can find my byline in the following publications:

I was born and raised in the Philadelphia area. I graduated from Emerson College in Boston (where I met my partner) and have lived in Washington, D.C., since 2015. If I’m not at home, I’m probably by a bonfire in northern Maine or loitering at a Berlin Späti.

I can get through a dinner party or an interview in Spanish, read basic Portuguese and make my babcia happy by singing the Polish happy birthday song. I’ve traveled to across Europe, North America, Central America and the Caribbean — feel free to reach out about international assignments.
