As a science journalist and communicator, I keep my eyes and ears open for unique stories, whether it’s artificial intelligence, animal cognition, or the strange and brilliant worlds of octopuses and corvids. I’m equally driven to spotlight the people behind these discoveries and to examine diversity across the tech landscape, especially the experiences of women and underrepresented communities who are reshaping these fields in real time.
I take a human-first approach to reporting: building trust with my sources, developing real relationships, and—when time allows—sending quotes back for clarity, following up on emerging threads, and sharing each published story with the people who made it possible. I believe this kind of care isn’t just good practice; it’s essential to maintaining strong relationships and producing journalism that reflects the full depth of lived experience.
I publish widely as a freelance science journalist, with work appearing in outlets such as National Geographic, Science Friday, Scientific American, New Scientist, Discover Magazine, Ars Technica, LiveScience, Space.com, Nature Biotechnology, Astronomy Magazine, Leaps Magazine, Hakai Magazine, The Transmitter, Nautilus Magazine, ChemistryWorld, Earth Island Journal, Phys.org, Colorado Magazine, Inside Quantum Technology, The Quantum Insider, The Deep Tech Insider, The Metaverse Insider, The Debrief, A-Z Animals and OctoNation.
Here you can find the Medicinal Plants Tour from the Denver Botanic Gardens that I created. The tour is currently the third most popular tour on their website, and has a series of corresponding YouTube videos of recipes you can try.
Here you can find the link to my undergraduate honors thesis, which I published as a book. It covers the story of me interviewing scientists and science writers around the world to talk about science communication and the lives and conservation of weedy sea dragons.
