I'm a journalist based in Cincinnati, Ohio, but now also teaching journalism at the University of Illinois. I love telling environmental and health stories. In 2020, I won the Outstanding Feature Writing award from The Society of Environmental Journalists for a story on how communities located near polluting industries struggle to get scientists to help them understand their risks.
