Profile Summary

I am a materials scientist and sustainability researcher with over a decade of experience in interdisciplinary research, technical communication, and grant development. Currently serving as a Senior Research Associate at the Paula M. Trienens Institute for Sustainability and Energy at Northwestern University, I specialize in developing and implementing research strategies focused on clean energy, decarbonization, and advanced materials. My expertise spans academic writing, federal grant proposal preparation (NSF, DOE, DoD), literature reviews, technical editing, and translating complex scientific concepts into accessible language for diverse audiences. I have contributed to collaborative, cross-sectoral projects involving universities, national labs, and industry partners, and am skilled in aligning research narratives with funding priorities and scientific impact. Whether you're seeking support with scientific writing, research consulting, or strategic communication in sustainability and energy, I bring clarity, precision, and deep subject-matter insight to every project.
