I am an independent science writer, poet, and writer of fiction.
I’ve written for top universities, including Weill Cornell Medicine, Johns Hopkins Magazine, Princeton, and University of Colorado. I have bylines in Science, Women’s Running, Outside, and other national publications. I am a skilled interviewer, researcher, and writer for general audiences. My passions lie in writing scientific profiles and uncovering news about cutting edge research. More specifically, I love being able to thread health discoveries into the context of everyday life.
In my free time I write poetry and fiction; they are the creative fuel that keep me on my toes as a storyteller. My first work of poetry is forthcoming in HOG RIVER PRESS. And I volunteer as a mentor for Girls Write Now, an incredible organization that gives students from diverse backgrounds an introduction to all the amazing career avenues available to writers.
