In what ways does nature inspire or inform your work?
As a reporter and editor covering climate change and policy, invoking nature through my writing is key to help readers understand the immediacy of these issues — that we’re experiencing them in real time.
What does it mean to you to be part of a thriving ecosystem?
I am inspired by thinkers who connect the innate ways nature works through connection, like mycellium, to our movements and praxis, like adrienne maree brown, Jenny Odell, and Atmos EIC Willow Defebaugh.
