In what ways does nature inspire or inform your work?
My stories often explore how humans and natural systems intersect. My work highlights both conflict and adaptation, like the consequences of a bitcoin mining on rural ecosystems and efforts to freeze coral larvae to protect reefs.
What does it mean to you to be part of a thriving ecosystem?
To me, it’s contributing to a world that’s livable, just and full of possibilities.
