Writing & Content That Bridges The Gap

Profile Summary

I'm an experienced writer who can break down technical topics and industry jargon into simple prose for any audience. A biologist by training with nine years of experience in the water and engineering industries, I am passionate about crafting engaging content that is clear, concise, and correct so that citizens are aware and empowered to make changes in their own lives. I also specialize in developing interactive K-12 science lessons and activities. If you want to communicate the importance of your work in a way that catalyzes change in others, I would love to join your team. I'm also a successful grant writer, having securing nearly $230,000 in grants for nonprofit programs. I'm just as passionate about writing for foundations and industry leaders as I am for the general public.
