Hi! I'm a Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial leader and science journalist exploring how people understand complex ideas.

As founding Director of Video at Quanta Magazine, I built the publication’s video operation from the ground up, shaping its editorial standards, storytelling approach, production systems, and long-term strategy. I bring together rigorous reporting, narrative craft, animation, design, and learning principles to make ideas at the frontiers of science and mathematics accessible to a broad audience. Quanta’s YouTube channel has grown to more than 1.2 million subscribers and 85 million lifetime views.

For a closer look at how I approach explanatory storytelling, watch my talk at the Santa Fe Institute, where I was a journalist in residence.

Before Quanta, I was a journalist and video producer at The Atlantic, where I executive produced the documentary series The Atlantic Selects and wrote about science, culture, and technology. Earlier, I wrote about film for IndieWire and led editorial at No Film School. I also worked as a creative executive developing independent films, including Sundance award-winning titles.

“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.
