I am a highly trained and published writer with expertise in science communication, particularly health and environmental research. I received my undergraduate education in environmental and biological sciences from Cornell University, graduating Magna Cum Laude with Distinction in Research. I then transitioned into the policy, communications, and advocacy side of science when I obtained a Master of Public Health degree at U.C. Berkeley as an Arthur Ferreira Pinto Foundation Fellow. While pursuing my graduate degree, I also completed an intensive 18-month leadership development fellowship sponsored by U.C. Berkeley Center for Health Leadership.
