I’m an independent journalist. My reporting and writing is mostly focused on climate change (science, politics, impacts and solutions), energy, health, and technology. I’ve written for a range of outlets including The New York Review of Books, The New York Times, Undark Magazine, Yale Environment 360, MIT Technology Review, and Slate.

As a 2020-2021 Alicia Patterson Foundation Fellow, I reported on the political, legal and grassroots battles over new methane (aka natural gas) infrastructure and its implications for the global climate, local economies and the clean energy transition. That work led in winding fashion to my book Gaslight: The Atlantic Coast Pipeline and the Fight for America’s Energy Future, published in 2024 by Island Press.

I’m a former Middlebury Fellow in Environmental Journalism and a graduate of UC Berkeley’s Energy and Resources Group. In a past life, I was a frequent volunteer instructor at the Zanskar Ski School, the first backcountry ski school in the Himalaya, and a teacher at the Students’ Educational and Cultural Movement of Ladakh (SECMOL).

I live in Vermont, where I subsist mostly on yoghurt and maple syrup and spend my free time picking up Magna-Tiles.
