I am a freelance science writer who seeks to explore the intersection of health and humanity. I have written about public and global health, neuroscience, genomics, regenerative medicine, aging, rare diseases, cancer and science policy, among other topics. I hold an MA in Science Writing from Johns Hopkins University, and my stories have appeared in The Washington Post, Smithsonian Magazine, The Atlantic, Baltimore Sun, Pacific Standard and U.S. News & World Report. Previously, I served as associate editor at FierceBiotech, where I covered drug discovery breakthroughs, preclinical research and R&D funding for the weekly industry newsletter FierceBiotechResearch. Before that, I was a reporter for the Baltimore Business Journal, where I covered healthcare and biotechnology. I am passionate about science literacy, SciArt and the integration of science and theater.
