Experience

Janus is a writer and editor with more than a decade of experience. Some of the first stories she ever published were for a travel blog, documenting how she navigated buses, borders, and tight budgets across Europe during a study abroad program. Since then, she's penned stories for a handful of local, national, and international publications, with a focus on elections and social issues. She has also done storytelling within nonprofits to advance their causes. Over the years, Janus has had the chance to travel quite a bit. These days, she is focusing on telling stories that help us rethink how we get around to reduce our environmental impact, and how to build more thoughtful connections as we go.

Education

Janus has a master's degree in environmental ethics.
