Profile Summary

I am a D.C.-based, freelance science writer and editor specializing in ecology, evolution, and biomedicine. I earned a B.A. in English from Pennsylvania State University and a Ph.D. in biology from the University of Virginia. My graduate research explored the ecological and evolutionary effects of an invasive plant on a closely related native species.
