Biography

Equipped with a BSc in gender, sexuality, feminism and social justice studies, and bioorganic chemistry, and MSc from McGill University in oligonucleotide chemistry, I have been a science writer since 2016. I specialize in making complicated and nuanced topics across all realms of science highly palatable and engaging for an audience with no prior knowledge. I use out-of-the-box thinking to draw creative connections and contextualize subjects in a unique and captivating manner. My goals are equally to entertain, educate and empower readers.
