Fire & resilience

From the newsroom to the firehouse.

A journey set on purpose.

After two decades covering environmental stories in California, I've traded the microphone for a fire hose. As a volunteer firefighter in rural New York, I've discovered that the instinct to serve your community doesn't retire—it simply finds new expression.

Turning the page has given me fresh perspective on resilience, community, and what it means to show up when it matters most.
