| About Me | I am a California-based freelance writer who specializes in energy and climate policy. I am also a Forbes Contributor and a Contributing Writer for Santa Clara Magazine. From May 2010 to February 2012, I was the Reporter/Blogger for Climate One. From October 2008 to December 2009, I served as the Lead Writer and Web Editor for the Copenhagen Climate Council, based in Copenhagen, Denmark. In this role, I also contributed feature stories to Monday Morning, the influential Danish news weekly magazine. In 2009, I reported from the International Scientific Congress on Climate Change, in Copenhagen, in March; the UNFCCC climate change talks in Bonn, Germany, in April; World Climate Conference-3, in Geneva, Switzerland, in September, and COP15 in Copenhagen, in December. Previously, I served three years as Editor-in-Chief for Flex Your Power, California’s statewide climate change and energy efficiency education campaign, based in San Francisco, California. There, I edited and was chief writer for all editorial content, including a blog, e-mail newsletter, policy papers, and best practices guides. Before this, I served on the editorial staff for the magazine of The Commonwealth Club of California, a public affairs forum also based in San Francisco. My journalism career started with an editorial fellowship with Mother Jones, the San Francisco-based award-winning investigative journalism bi-monthly magazine. |
