Biography
As a young girl, I spent most afternoons in my mother's research lab sorting instruments, eventually growing flasks of cells and testing out compounds that could potentially be used to treat cancer. Our dinner table discussions prominently featured the word "apoptosis" and drove my passion for everything science and tech. I parlayed this love into an undergraduate degree in Biological Sciences from the University of Notre Dame, then into a job running the cell culture and antiviral drug toxicity testing wing at a biotechnology startup in San Francisco. When I got sick of the smell of ethanol and the buzz and blue glow of the sterilizing UV lights, I enrolled in the University of California, Santa Cruz's Science Communication program to learn about writing and journalism, and to develop my passion for new media and blogging. After stints at WIRED, The Scientist, Discover Magazine, and LiveScience, I spent a few years at Business Insider, where I built the science vertical from scratch and helped launch the ephemeral standalone site Tech Insider. In 2016, I joined WonderHowTo to start building our network of sites focused on science and technology, drive editorial operations site-wide, and open our New York City offices.

I no longer write for tech. Ever. Unless it's a humor gig.
