Hi, you’ve reached Amal Ahmed.

I'm a reporter at the Texas Observer, based in Austin. I report on climate and the environment, with a focus on justice and equity. Previously, I was a fact-checker at Texas Monthly. My work has also been published in a variety of outlets, including Southerly, The Atlantic, CityLab, and Popular Science.

I’m one of the co-creators of the monthly newsletter Texarkana, which is about all things Arkansas and Texas. You can sign up to get it in your inbox here.

I graduated from the Medill School of Journalism in 2018, and have since achieved my main career goal: to live somewhere warm again.
