In the last two decades, I've written about everything from meteorites to microbes. I've had staff jobs at U.S.News & World Report and National Geographic and my freelance work has appeared in Discover, Smithsonian, Science, New Scientist, and many other publications.
Since 2014 I've been a senior science writer at a company that does health and science communications. I also write for The Last Word on Nothing and still squeeze in the occasional freelance project. If you need any stories about nature, museums, or cool sciencey stuff in the Washington, D.C., area, please get in touch.
In my free time, I enjoy walking, drawing, reading, singing, and (pandemic permitting) the company of my fellow humans.
