Writing

As a science journalist and science communicator, I have my ear constantly to the ground for new stories to cover, specifically within quantum physics, deep technology, or social media. I also focus on the diversity within these fields, specifically of women or underrepresented ethnicities. To tell stories in these fields effectively, I often focus on the human side of the topic, showing the individuals within the story.

You can find my most recent work for JILA (a physics research institution set up by NIST and the University of Colorado, Boulder), which is my primary job, below in its quarterly magazine Light & Matter. I also publish articles as a freelance science journalist and my work has been featured Scientific American, New Scientist, Discover Magazine, Ars Technica, Astronomy Magazine, Leaps Magazine, Physics.org, Inside Quantum Technology, The Quantum Insider, The Deep Tech Insider, the Metaverse Insider, The Debrief, and Octonation.
