About Mary

I was raised exploring the boreal forest of Interior Alaska and the hay fields of upstate New York, always with an ear for a good story. Now, I tell stories about the human experience of environmental issues through sound. I excel at developing story ideas, gathering tape, and shaping reported material into compelling narratives. I have deep knowledge on environmental science and natural resources policy. I’m looking for reporting and production work on narrative podcasts.
