They are the recipient of a Merlyn Climate Grant (2020) and the winner of a Casey Shearer Award for Excellence in Creative Nonfiction (2017).
Georgia’s work is most often satirical and speculative in nature, preoccupied with climate transfiguration, queer community, and wilderness.

In 2026, they were awarded a DOC Excellence in Teaching Award.
Outside of work, Georgia draws, paints, organizes, performs in drag, watches birds, officiates weddings, climbs fake rocks, swims in the real ocean, and strives to become ungovernable.
