About

If you were to chart the course of my career, you’d see the continuous interweaving of language and science. When I worked as a writer and communications specialist at one of the nation’s leading health information networks, a public health colleague called my work “technically breezy.” And that’s what I strive for—turning complicated subject matter into compelling content that effortlessly hits home with its intended audience.

I have a bachelor’s degree in English and French with a minor in biochemistry and a master’s degree in creative writing from Purdue University where I wrote a collection of poetry largely about physics.

While at Purdue, I worked with international graduate students to develop introductory courses based on their doctoral research in areas like black hole formation, climate change, and jet engineering. I got to learn about complex, niche topics while also helping others articulate the crux of their work with concision and clarity. I loved that job, and it’s the kind of work I’ve been doing in some form or another since.

I have over a decade of experience working with individuals and small and large nonprofits in the arts and healthcare on projects like grant writing, white papers, communications, custom learning and development curricula, concept papers, website copy, video scripts, and more.

I have taught writing courses in numerous settings on a variety of topics. My students have gone on to win poetry awards, publish novels, and become the first in their families to be accepted to college. I have also written and taught, both in person and on video, custom training content for several nonprofits on topics ranging from developmental literacy to how the healthcare system works.

Working at the intersection of language and science requires constant learning and creative thinking. That’s what I love most about this work: deep diving into complicated topics with experts who know them inside and out and distilling complicated ideas into accessible, compelling content.
