She’s also written about disappearing rare forests, invasive pythons, diseased coral and a host of other critical issues around the state.
She covered the environment, climate change and hurricanes for the Miami Herald for five years and previously freelanced for the paper. She worked at the Palm Beach Post from 1989 to 2000, covering crime, government and general assignment stories.
