Journalism allows me to follow my curiosity about the world and the people in it. I grew up in Northern California, and I want to understand how my home is changing and where it’s headed. I’ve contributed reporting to Berkeleyside, The Mercury News and other Northern California publications. I’ve also written about science and the environment for Hakai, Audubon Magazine and other outlets.
