About Becky W. Evans

Becky W. Evans is a Boston-based writer, editor, and educator with a background in environmental journalism and higher education. She enjoys mentoring writers of all ages and helping them uncover their unique voice and story.

As a Staff Writer for The Standard Times of New Bedford from 2003-2009, Becky won regional journalism awards for her reporting on the “three beats” of commercial fishing, immigration and environment. Chasing these interwoven stories, Becky boarded an 80-foot New Bedford trawler to observe the impacts of federal groundfishing rules on beleaguered fishermen and depleted cod and haddock stocks in Georges Bank, hiked through Guatemala’s highland villages to interview deported New Bedford garment workers arrested in a botched US federal immigration raid during the George W. Bush administration, and scoured public records to uncover the environmental and public health legacy of electrical capacitor manufacturers’ PCB contamination of New Bedford’s residential and aquatic neighborhoods.

Becky brought her passion for writing and reporting to Lasell College and Boston University College of Communication, where from 2010-2016, she taught undergraduate and graduate courses in communications writing, resume and cover letter writing, mass media history, human communication and photojournalism to both domestic and international students. 

As co-leader of the grassroots Eco-Stewards Program from 2008-2018, Becky planned and directed placed-based, storytelling expeditions in West Virginia, Montana, Washington, Oregon and Vermont for young adults passionate about the intersection of faith and environmental justice. She later served as a food justice educator with the PCUSA Boston Young Adult Volunteer Program from 2016-2020, designing a regional foodshed curriculum incorporating experiential education field trips and a local food SNAP challenge. As an independent educator, she has taught ESOL classes to adult immigrants in Waltham, Cambridge, and New Bedford and volunteered in primary schools teaching maple sugaring and typewriter art to students in Somerville and Cambridge.

Since 2021, Becky has supported the food access and education programs at Waltham Fields Community Farm, serving as secretary of the Board of Directors and getting lost in their PYO flower patch. She writes poetry and essays about nature, place and parenting with her contemplative writing peers at Bethany House of Prayer in Arlington and leads creative writing workshops focused on nature and spirituality.

Becky holds degrees from Colgate University (BA in English & Environmental Economics), Boston University College of Communication (MS in Print Journalism) and Boston University School of Education (MA in Higher Education TESOL). Her reporting has appeared in The Standard-Times, The Cape-Cod Times, The Boston Herald, The Worcester Telegram, The Atlanta-Journal Constitution, The Austin American-Statesman, The Dayton Daily News, National Fisherman Magazine, Boston Magazine, Inc. Magazine, and Harvard Business School Publishing case studies.
