I discovered my passion for helping mission-driven organizations tell their stories when I started writing for Rotary International, an organization of 1.2 million leaders who are tackling some of the world’s most pressing problems. I'm now a staff writer and editor for the Environmental Defense Fund. I’ve reported hundreds of stories — but the most memorable include documenting rebuilding efforts in Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria and interviewing philanthropist Howard Buffett, who aims to end hunger through innovative farming practices and his $3 billion foundation. In 2017, I won an Eddie award for a piece on Greenpeace’s Annie Leonard.I graduated from Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism, and spent time reporting for Dow Jones and the Associated Press in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where I interviewed sources in Spanish and wrote in English.My stories have appeared in the Chicago Tribune, The Christian Science Monitor, NBCChicago.com, Rotary magazine, The Seattle Times, and other outlets.
