Professional Experience

As an experienced scientist and educator, I've written reports and formal scientific articles, promotional materials for museums, educational materials for adults and children in settings formal and informal, and humorous essays and personal pieces on nature, science, and LGBT issues, to name but a few. I'm looking for professional writing opportunities to supplement or supplant my career as an ecologist.
