I'm an award-winning writer and journalist based in Berlin.
My book, Present Tense: How We Reckon With the End of the World will be published spring 2027 by The New Press (US) and McClelland & Stewart, an imprint of Penguin Random House Canada (Canada).
Present Tense is a globe-spanning work of environmental reportage journeying through the emotional landscape of the climate crisis. It unveils the contradictions, paradoxes and trade-offs inherent in attempting to live well in a world on fire through a series of dispatches from climate change’s frontlines.
