I’m a journalist, writer, and radio producer, and a recent fellow at the Columbia Journalism‘s Energy & Environment Reporting Project.
My writing has appeared in publications like Xtra, Virginia Magazine, citylimits.org and The Grid. I’ve produced radio pieces for CBC Radio shows like The Sunday Edition, Spark, and The Current, as well as New Hampshire Public Radio and PRI’s Science Friday.
For five years, I hosted and produced a podcast called I Like You with JP Davidson. It’s about love and relationships and tells silly, sweet, and occasionally traumatic tales of modern love.
