I’m a writer and journalist based in New York and around the world. I cover tech innovations that are confronting the climate crisis, from carbon dioxide removal to how AI and satellites are being used to hold polluters accountable, as well as environmental justice issues.

Currently, I’m a clean tech 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 also wrote regularly for The Future of Everything and other Journal sections, both about the future and the past.

I started my career as a staff writer at Wirecutter, so ask me about conscious consumption.

 
 

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.
