Hello! I am a science writer working to improve science communication and scientific literacy. My long-standing appreciation for extraordinary things in nature has led me to study, photograph, and write about some of the most incredible animals and phenomena on the planet. After completing my PhD at Michigan State University, I now work in scholarly publishing and as a freelance writer and fact checker. I also serve as the Editor-in-Chief of the Scientista Foundation, a nonprofit that promotes diversity in STEM. In addition to Scientista, you can find my writing in Discover magazine, Temblor Earthquake News, and the Conversation.
