I’m a visual storyteller specializing in science communication. I’m interested sharing science in ways that are exciting, accessible, and allow people to see rich new details in the familiar.
For the last 5 years I've been working at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) as a photographer and multimedia specialist. I work with scientists to communicate their research about climate and earth systems, accompanying them into the field and producing StoryMaps, illustrations, and talks. Before that I traveled the Amazon River from source to delta on a Thomas J. Watson Fellowship, using photography to tell the story of river science. Right now, I'm taking a year to sail around the Pacific aboard my sailboat, Tardigrade. Check out my recent work on instagram or my blog, and sign up for my newsletter to stay up to date. |

The Watson
I spent much of 2019-2020 on a Thomas J. Watson Fellowship, traveling the length of the Amazon River and using photography to showcase the science of river systems.
This project was put on hold for the pandemic, with the exception of a foray along the Colorado River in October 2021. |
My newsletter
In 2022 I sent out my first monthly newsletter with a new StoryMap I made about the wonders of beavers.
Every few months since then, I've shared out photo essays, life updates, and my favorite photos that don't make it on social media. Check out my blog and sign up for my newsletter to stay in the loop about future projects. |
