Nell Smith

Originally from Maine, I am a writer, facilitator, and field biologist based in the Southwest. My work is rooted in a deep curiosity about the many intersections between human experience and the more-than-human world.

I hold an M.F.A. in Creative Writing and Environment & Natural Resources from the University of Wyoming and a B.A. in Conservation Biology and Arts & Letters from Prescott College. My work has received recognition and support from Orion Magazine, the H. G. Merriam Award for Creative Work in the Humanities, and the Haub School Student Research and Creative Activities Grant.

My interdisciplinary background gives me a unique perspective to think critically and creatively across a variety of complex subjects. Please reach out if you are interested in collaborating.
