In 2014, Amy co-founded the all-female climate reporting project Climate Confidential, which syndicated longform environmental journalism to a variety of national outlets, including The Atlantic, Scientific American, Popular Science, Modern Farmer, Smithsonian, and many more. That work earned Amy a Rachel Carson Women In Conservation award in 2015. She also received a Folio award in 2007 for her work reporting on algae-based biofuels. Amy currently works as a contributing reporter for Reno Public Radio and The Wall Street Journal, and co-hosts the Range podcast.
