Scientific Writer | Data Analyst | Microbiome Researcher

Profile Summary

As a scientific writer/editor, I develop customer-centric technical and marketing content, including white papers, applications notes, and web pages that drive lead generation, customer engagement, and promotional campaigns. I am a classically trained microbial ecologist and microbiome researcher with extensive computational experience. I have more than 12 years of research and project management experience conducted across countries in three languages. I have managed multidisciplinary collaborative projects at the interface of microbiology, synthetic biology, and computational biology by combining my background as a bench researcher and a data analyst. An avid science communicator, I co-founded a scientific online platform prettylightscience.com. I use scientific writing and data analysis/visualization techniques to present complex scientific ideas to both specialists and the general public.
