Professional Experience
I am a writer, researcher, and blogger specializing in science and nature. I love to teach readers what we've learned about the universe, and my experience in the world of scientific research has taught me to translate complex technical papers and conversations with scientists into jargon-free, transparent prose.
My completed projects include articles about human embryonic development for Wondertime magazine, two books for young readers (STICK INSECTS and FOSSILS from KidHaven Press), contributions to middle school and high school science textbooks, and the interpretive text for exhibits in the Amherst College Museum of Natural History. Whether I'm writing the instructions for a kids' activity or a narrative feature, I find the latest studies and interview experts who are actively involved in the field to give readers an accurate snapshot of a constantly changing subject.
