About

As a Staff Writer at The Hill, I work right at the nexus of science, business, and politics. With a specialized focus on Texas and its changing climate — both literal and political — I shine a spotlight on the critical intersection where business strategies and political decisions meet environmental challenges. I pioneered our Sustainability newsletter and our Texas politics and energy reporting practice, and I've led our reporting on the rise of new forms of energy, the insurance crisis and the remaking of the state GOP. My expertise in science and policy reporting, coupled with an understanding of analytics and email marketing — in tandem with a sharp, personal writing style — helps me turn complex issues into compelling narratives that connect with the public. And sometimes I get to write about, say, the best way to kill a mammoth, or why it is worryingly likely that fish are sentient. https://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/4840197-prehistoric-hunters-mammoth-spears/ https://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/4710348-ocean-animal-consciousness-fish-octopus-whales-crabs-economic-boom-threat/
