Dawn Obermoeller brings more than 20 years of science communication and strategic marketing experience to conservation writing, a career that began in the biology labs of Southwest Texas State University and grew through leadership roles at some of the world’s leading life sciences companies. She holds a Master of Science in Biology, a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Management, and an MBA in Marketing, and spent two decades translating cutting-edge genomics, diagnostics, and biotechnology research into accessible, compelling content for global audiences.
That same discipline, understanding the science deeply, then communicating it clearly, now drives Rewilding Report, the independent ecological restoration publication she founded out of a conviction that rewilding is one of the most important and underreported stories of our time.
Dawn is based in Austin, where the rapid development of the Hill Country’s sensitive karst landscapes and the ongoing fight to protect the Edwards Aquifer and its endemic cave species give the work of native plant conservation a particular urgency. Her research into invasive species pathways, examining how plants move through horticulture, agriculture, recreation, and climate-driven range expansion, informs both her journalism and her advocacy for native plant choices that support ecological recovery across the Edwards Plateau.
