ABOUT

I'm an independent journalist covering stories that span health, science, and the environment. My work has been featured in NPR, Science, Nature, and Chemical and Engineering News. I'm especially drawn to stories that grapple with chemistry’s impact on our environment and health.

​

Previously, I served as an editorial fellow at Breastcancer.org, where I covered research and news relating to breast cancer, and as a AAAS Mass Media Fellow at NPR, where I covered global and domestic public health. 

​

​I have a PhD in chemistry from the University of Michigan, where I spent five years making and breaking chemical bonds before swapping out nitrile gloves for a pen. I am currently pursuing a masters in journalism at NYU's Science, Health, and Environmental Reporting Program. 

​

I'm a fan of women's basketball, crafting, and the Southern US (where I'm originally from). I hope to one day master the banjo that's been hanging on my wall for years. I'm currently based in Brooklyn.
