Using her background in biology, Josie helps scientists and environmental organizations communicate their work through engaging videos, and creates films that spotlight the natural world. She made her directorial debut with the documentary short, Uncovering Animal Minds, which has screened at film festivals nationwide.

Josie earned her B.A. in Biology from Lawrence University in 2017 and her M.A. in Environmental Science & Natural Resource Journalism from the University of Montana in 2024.
