Beth Weiler
Newsroom InternBeth Weiler is a newsroom and digital intern covering the environment. She graduated from the University of Michigan where she studied pollinator ecology and also fell in love with frogs, salamanders and snakes. She loves story-telling and photography, and is making the shift from ecology into environmental journalism.
She has previously worked as an ecologist, horticulturist, and research technician on a variety of ecological projects. You can find her – with her camera and nets – flipping logs and wading in muck to find critters. She enjoys reading environmental non-fiction, traveling, gardening, listening to electronic music (shoutout to Detroit, birthplace of techno!), and adventuring with her dog, Birdie.
