“If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe.” -Carl Sagan
I am majoring in environmental science, creative writing, and philosophy at the University of Iowa and expect to graduate in 2025. I’m currently researching harmful algal blooms at Iowa Lakeside Labs and work in science communication through NonProphet Media, a video production nonprofit based in Iowa City, IA. I hope to continue amplifying the impact of scientific research through media while contributing to water quality justice in the future.
