Hi, I’m Ashli, an independent journalist and researcher specializing in environmental science, policy, and justice. My work centers on solutions-oriented journalism and projects, with a particular focus on climate adaptation, pollution abatement, and wildland fire management.

Based in the Pacific Northwest—with deep connections to my hometown of Memphis—I prioritize stories about frontline communities in the American West and Southeast. I hold a master’s degree in environmental policy, which has equipped me with the skills to critically evaluate and effectively convey the complexities of climate solutions.
