Profile Summary

Over the past decade, I have been tasked with learning what the right questions to ask are and discovering how to best seek out their answers. I thrive in the space that exists between complex topics and simple language. I spend hours obsessed over finding the best way to communicate an idea with the most accessible yet elegant language. As a fervent autodidact and former researcher, I know how to become an expert on a topic quickly. My writing takes complex ideas and creates content that serves a reader. I strive to educate and shed noisy language to get to the heart of questions that matter. I also enjoy finding trends in data and creating visuals that most effectively capture the story behind the numbers. I have a strong background in field botany, field ecology, climate science and plant biology research.
