Professional Experience

I am very interested in science writing, particularly in translating information from peer-reviewed journals for a general audience. My education is in physical science/mathematics and earth science/environmental science. Technical writing, academic writing and grant writing are all of great interest to me. I also enjoy doing research, fact-checking and proofreading. Really, I'd rather be an editorial assistant than an editor!
