I have always been a writer. In fifth grade, I won a national essay contest featured on Animal Planet and sponsored by Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom for writing about my passion for protecting bottlenose dolphins and their habitat. Little did I know, that spark would grow into a career grounded in storytelling, reporting, and conservation communications.
I am a graduate of a nationally ranked journalism program with training in traditional AP-style news writing. In my current role, I write a weekly blog article focused on conservation, research, and impact. My work prioritizes intentional storytelling that broadens who is seen and heard in conservation. This includes projects like my Black History Month series, Black Leaders in Outdoor Spaces, which highlighted and amplified the work of Black conservation leaders.
Monthly E-Newsletter
Each month, I design and send a monthly e-newsletter, Nature Matters, to more than 45,000 subscribers. I am responsible for both the content and design. You can find an example of my latest e-newsletter below:
