Freelance science writer, editor and marketer | Expert on the brain, genes, and biotechnology

Profile Summary

My wonder for the human mind and body led me to a doctorate in Biomedical Science and an undergraduate education in Neural Science and Philosophy. Here, I studied how the brain forms memories and how individual cells make decisions to generate the brain during development. Since then, I hung up my lab coat and have explored positions in life science communication and marketing. I have worked at a science marketing agency as a public relations associate and content marketer, and I have written daily science news columns on neurological and rare diseases for the BioNews Services family of websites including Multiple Sclerosis News Today, Alzheimer’s News Today, and Parkinson’s News Today. In addition to having authored web content, magazine articles, white papers, brochures, and infographics for life science and healthcare products, I have developed an understanding and skill set for effectively applying SEO. My deep understanding of science has enabled me to craft compelling, keyword-optimized content that speaks to and reaches target audiences. Currently, I freelance as a science writer, and my beat is the intersection of the brain, genes, and biotechnology. My most recent science writing work is featured in Scientific American and Medium. While I will always have the lens of a scientist, I have a passion for translating scientific information. I thrive when challenged intellectually and work well in a demanding, dynamic environment to manage competing priorities. I look forward to hearing back from you!
