A Question Worth Sitting With
What does it actually take to make environmental data feel human? That question has shaped most of my working days. I keep a running notebook — half filled with field observations scribbled near industrial sites or community meetings, half filled with regression tables and source citations. That split habit is probably the most honest summary of who I am: someone who needs both the numbers and the story before anything feels true.
My work sits at the intersection of environmental analysis and narrative writing, with a particular pull toward pollution stories and the communities shaped by them. I test frameworks in the field before I write about them, which means the insights I share have been stress-tested against messy, real-world conditions — not just polished in theory.
What You Can Expect Here
Whether you are new to environmental justice topics or have spent years tracking them, I write with both of you in mind. Here is how I tend to approach things:
- Grounding every analysis in lived, observable detail
- Translating complex environmental data into plain, useful language
- Challenging comfortable assumptions before settling on conclusions
- Keeping the reader — not the jargon — at the centre
If any of that resonates, I would genuinely love to hear from you. Head over to my contact page and let's start a conversation.
