At the UC Santa Cruz Science Communication Program,

I received expert training in writing, reporting

and digital media content creation.

I now write full-time for Live Science, and you

can also find my byline in The Scientist Magazine, 

Science News, Space.com, Eos, Mongabay, 

The San Jose Mercury News, Monterey County Herald, 

and Asahi Shimbun GLOBE+, among others. 

​

In the past, I've also served as a public information officer at the Stanford University School of Medicine, UC San Francisco,

and the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology.

​

I primarily cover health and medicine and am always

eager to dive into the nitty-gritty mechanisms

behind a disease, while also tackling stories that

provide readers with practical, actionable

information about their bodies and health care.

​

I also frequently cover animal, evolutionary biology,

environment and conservation stories.
