I am a passionate and experienced environmental communications specialist providing multifaceted support for the Permafrost Pathways project, as well as other work related to the local and global impacts of rapid Arctic change. I translate Woodwell Climate’s groundbreaking climate science into engaging content that informs policy, educates the public, and supports frontline communities.
Previously, I was a multimedia specialist at the global marine conservation NGO, Oceana, where I supported communications campaigns aimed at protecting and restoring the ocean. I have also participated in digital campaigns defending the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in solidarity with the Gwich’in and Iñupiat people. I earned my bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Drexel University, where I studied culture, communication, and media.
I am motivated by my dedication to Indigenous allyship and my passion for Arctic justice, intersectional environmentalism, and the role place-based narratives and accessible science communication can play in the fight against climate change. I approach my work through a lens of collective action, community care and empowerment, gender equity, radical
empathy, humor, and the belief that a better world is possible.
When not working on Arctic and climate issues, I’m a human rights activist and enjoy reading, learning new musical instruments, and experimenting with watercolors and ceramics. I also enjoy adventuring and try to take one solo trip a year, whether that’s hiking in the Scottish Highlands, watching Beluga whales swim out of the Cook Inlet in Alaska, or marveling at bioluminescence off the coast of British Columbia.
