What I cover
I cover the local implications of global climate change and environmental challenges and solutions across Southern California.
My background
I previously covered topics such as mental health, domestic violence and environmental issues for newspapers in Texas, Arizona and Northern California. I turned my focus to climate coverage after reporting on the devastating impacts of rising sea levels on communities in the remote Sundarbans islands in India.
My goals
I want to highlight community-driven efforts to combat local and global pollution and equip readers with information and connections that help them understand, prepare for and take meaningful action in the face of today’s climate and environmental challenges.
