I write stories and craft social media posts about the research being conducted at Woodwell. I believe that in order to effectively address the climate crisis, it’s important to communicate the impacts of climate change to both policymakers and the public.
During my undergraduate education, I was a Pulitzer Center Campus Consortium Reporting Fellow (2022) and traveled to the Faroe Islands to report on the grindadráp (traditional drive hunting of whales/dolphins). This cemented my interest in environmental policy and journalism. The following year, I was selected as a Richter Scholar to conduct an environmental reporting project in Australia on First Nations’ sustainability initiatives. These experiences led me to pursue international environmental policy—after I graduated college I completed a six-month Intergovernmental Affairs Internship at the United Nations Environment Programme.
In September, I will begin a master of science program in Environmental Policy and Regulation at the London School of Economics and Political Science, and hope to continue to work in environmental policy after earning my degree.
I grew up spending my summers immersed in the Falmouth and Woods Hole scientific community, interning at NOAA in high school, and at Waquoit Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve in college, which was formative to my passion for the environment and my professional goals. I’ve learned that everyone can contribute to climate solutions in one way or another—just because the impact may be small doesn’t mean it isn’t important.
