Profile Summary

Experienced scientific writer, with nine papers in Q1 journals including Nature Geoscience, a successful grant proposal with a $135,000 award, and years of experience as a peer reviewer for NSF proposals and various Q1 research journals. I received my PhD from Brown University in 2016, and worked as a postdoc at Columbia University until early 2020, when I decided to move to freelance for personal reasons. My undergraduate degree in Natural Sciences from the University of Cambridge has given me a broad knowledge base across the physical sciences. My expertise is in geophysics and tectonics, using machine learning methodologies for data analysis.
