As an independent journalist and science writer, I have more than 14 years of experience in making science accessible and fun for diverse audiences. I specialize in summarizing and translating journal articles, but my real passion is for instilling enthusiasm for science and nature by explaining everyday mysteries.
I worked most recently as the senior field correspondent for science, health, innovation and technology at KJZZ News public media in Phoenix, where I wrote, edited, voiced and produced spot news and feature stories for local and national radio, print and digital media. I have won multiple Edward R. Murrow Awards for Excellence in Writing for my series on topics such as sex and medicine and coronavirus's impacts on science, medicine and society.
I have a strong background in earth and space sciences, emerging and cutting-edge technologies, psychology and neurosciences, and academic and nonprofit sectors. I enjoy working with and learning from talented people while making a valuable contribution to a worthwhile endeavor.
I also have strong backgrounds in public and media relations, and have taught colloquia on science history and critical film theory.
