I look at home and habitat writ large: from shelter and land and belonging, to disaster prevention and ecosystem recovery. I’ve written about the human relationship to land for magazines like Harper's and Pacific Standard, and produced stories about natural resources for The New Yorker, Vice News, and others. My research and investigations have been recognized by Habitat for Humanity, won awards from NYU and UC Berkeley, and earned a Fulbright.

I started my career covering environmental disaster and resource conflict as a South America correspondent for NPR, where I reported on events like the 27F Chile earthquake and tsunami, the rescue of 33 miners in the Atacama Desert, and oil spills in the Peruvian Amazon. I was also one of the first American journalists to cover the rebirth of ayahuasca tourism, for The Atlantic.

For nearly a decade, my focus has been working with teams to design and deliver big, ambitious editorial projects. Clients I’ve worked with include media outlets like Spotify and Vice, where I co-created Vice Audio, as well as international organizations like IDEO and Mercy Corps. Some of the series I’ve executive produced and edited include: Painkiller, which won a Murrow; A Show About Animals, which won an AAAS Kavli Science Journalism Gold Award, and The Crisis/Contra Natura, which was a finalist for a Gabo award. 

I’m proudly from a rural, blue collar community. I speak English and Spanish, and make my home in Chile and the United States.
