I am a freelance journalist covering climate, ecology, animals, and politics, as well as a PhD student in environmental studies at the University of Colorado, Boulder. I am the former associate editor of In These Times magazine, the former editor-at-large for Barn Raiser, and my writing has appeared in Vox, Sierra, Boston Review, Truthout, The Trouble, Jacobin, Harbinger: A Journal of Social Ecology, The Next System Project, Earth Island Journal, and elsewhere. I am also host of the books podcast Storytelling Animals.

I have a history of activism within left social movements, in particular those for climate justice and animal rights, and my PhD work focuses on animal ethics and environmental politics.
