I create stories, educational experiences, and visual work that make science and environmental issues more accessible, engaging, and heartfelt. My work spans writing, education, video, photography, and creative production, with a focus on oceans, climate, conservation, and sustainable water systems.

Recent work includes communications and technical writing for the UN State of the Ocean Report, Springer Nature, Journal of Technology, and UBC’s Fish 500 Series, as well as peer-reviewed research, ocean literacy, youth programming, and digital campaigns.

Rooted in my Atlantic and “Newfie” heritage, I’m interested in the stories we tell about place, water, and our responsibilities to one another. Also, occasionally, whale poop (see whale poop loop video for context).
