Welcome! I’m Sylvia Wright, a writer, photographer and videographer based in the Sierra Foothills of California. I travel throughout the American West, collecting stories along the way.
In previous careers, I was:
- Senior communications director for University of California, Davis (UC Davis) transportation and energy efficiency and public policy research programs;
- Senior PIO for UC Davis, publicizing the university’s environmental science and policy research achievements;
- Science/Medicine/Technology/Health&Fitness editor for the San Jose Mercury News.
Today, I specialize in telling stories about science and nature and the people who love them.

I created this page as a landing site for visitors interested in seeing my projects or contacting me.
