I’m a writer and journalist from Los Angeles. I cover tech innovations that are confronting the climate crisis, from machines that suck carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere to moonshot clean energy experiments and AI. I also write about those responsible for our warming planet, those trying to fix it and those who bear the burden.
Currently, I’m a reporter for Bloomberg News. You can reach me at mma304 at bloomberg dot net.
Previously, I was a climate reporter at Protocol, a new media company focused on the people, power and politics of tech. Before that, I was an editor at The Wall Street Journal, where I was responsible for live journalism series like Women in the Workplace and the WSJ Jobs Summit. I wrote regularly for The Future of Everything and other Journal sections, both about the future and the past.
I’ve also worked as an editor of mystery and crime novels, as well as a post-production assistant on a feature film about ayahuasca.
In my spare time, I like to climb rocks.
