Science Writer | Editor | Consultant

Profile Summary

I have done undergraduate studies in biology (focusing on evolution and ecology), postgraduate studies in genetics, and doctoral research in biochemistry and molecular biology. I've now translated those interests into my writing, editing, and consultation work. I'm a professional writer/editor in the fields of science and medicine, working on both academic and professional texts. For the past decade, I've also been working in science consultation for the entertainment industry. Clients include Marvel Comics, The Fictory, FUBAR, Igor: Occult Detective, and many more. I also do individual consultation, science and media presentations, and develop science education programs and materials.
