I’m a freelance journalist and editor from Aotearoa, New Zealand.
I mostly write longform narrative features about science in society, climate technologies, outdoor culture, and conservation. I also edit and fact-check books.
Some of my favourite stories I’m written are about the role of the public in cutting-edge climate tech, through-hiking the length of New Zealand with kids, unpacking kākāpō DNA, and what it takes to win the Great Easter Bunny Hunt.
I co-run the small press Homeward Books, which publishes genre-bending novels.
In 2024, I was a fellow at the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism at the University of Oxford, where I studied media coverage of carbon removal and solar geoengineering.
Before that, I was the editor of New Zealand Geographic, the bimonthly, independent publication of record which documents New Zealand culture, nature, and scientific research.
I’m a Fulbright scholar, a graduate of Columbia Journalism School’s science journalism program and a Pulitzer Center grant recipient.
