I’m a Pulitzer Prize–winning producer and writer working at the intersection of science, journalism, film, and video.

I am the founding director of Quanta Magazine’s video department, where I developed a distinctive approach to science video — one that uses deep reporting, narrative, metaphor, and visual design to communicate complex topics to broad audiences. Our YouTube channel now has more than 1 million subscribers.

For more on my approach to science communication, see this talk I gave as a journalism fellow at the Santa Fe Institute.

Previously, I was a journalist and producer at The Atlantic, a writer and editor at IndieWire and No Film School, and a creative executive on Sundance award–winning films.

“YouTube’s Science, Wrapped.”

I created Quanta’s Biggest Breakthroughs, an annual series that explores major advances in fundamental science by pairing deep reporting with cinematic video storytelling. Each episode focuses on a single discovery or theoretical advance, working closely with the researchers involved to explain what was discovered, why it matters, and how the idea works. The series uses narrative structure, animation, and intuitive visuals to make complex concepts accessible without oversimplifying the science.

Since it launched in 2020, the series has amassed more than 23 million views.
