375+ published stories across six continents. 15 regular media columns. Oceanographic Magazine columnist. Forbes contributor. Stories from the edges of the earth.
I write because the stories I encounter in the field are too important to stay there. The seaweed farmer in Argentina who figured out regenerative aquaculture. The coral gardener in Indonesia restoring reef systems on a shoestring budget. The Maori community in New Zealand whose ocean gardening techniques are now being recognized as world-class marine science. These stories exist everywhere. They just don't get the same airtime as the disasters.
My writing spans conservation, business strategy, expedition ethics, and the messy reality of building a life around purpose. I write for Forbes, Oceanographic Magazine, Earth.org, PADI, and a dozen other publications. I write because it's the fastest way to turn field experience into something people can use.
Four threads that run through everything I publish: from Forbes columns to expedition dispatches.
Only 2% of technical divers are women. Only 20% of National Geographic explorers are women. The numbers are changing, but not fast enough. The stories of the women leading that change are some of the most compelling in exploration today.

The most transformative expedition I ever took was in my own backyard. Adventure is a mindset, not a boarding pass. Here's how to find the edges in your own city.

You will spend weeks in confined spaces with this person. You will see them at their worst. You will depend on them to not kill you. Choose accordingly. Here's what I've learned from getting it right and getting it dangerously wrong.

Nobody tells you about the loneliness, the bureaucratic nightmares, or the fact that 'living the dream' sometimes means crying in an airport at 3am because your equipment got impounded at customs.

I built a life that funds ocean conservation through corporate strategy. It took five years, cost me most of my savings, and it's the only career model I'd ever recommend. Here's the blueprint.
Best for: Entrepreneurs, purpose-driven business, career change
