About Me
I'm a California-based environmental journalist who focuses on oceans, climate change, wildlife, water, renewable energy and green technology issues.
I currently cover climate and ocean issues as a reporter at Bloomberg News in San Francisco. I previously was executive editor for environment at News Deeply, a New York-based media company that created news sites to provide sustained coverage of issues of global significance that are underreported. I oversaw News Deeply's environmental news sites, including Arctic Deeply, Oceans Deeply and Water Deeply, and developed new platforms. Before joining News Deeply, I was the editorial director for environment at TakePart, a digital magazine owned by Participant Media, the Los Angeles film production company. Previously, I held reporting, editing and department head positions at a variety of publications, including Fortune magazine, Forbes magazine, Business 2.0 magazine, the San Jose Mercury News, the Sacramento Bee and The Industry Standard magazine.
I've been a regular contributor to The New York Times, Quartz and The Atlantic, and my work has also appeared in National Geographic the Los Angeles Times, Wired and Reuters.
I live in Berkeley, California, where I spend as much time as possible outside, surfing, hiking and mountain biking. A former resident of Australia, I’m among the lucky few who have seen the elusive and critically endangered northern hairy-nosed wombat in the wild.
