Biography

Dance has long served as my vehicle to bring science to new audiences. I spent my college years sprinting from mirror-lined dance studios to dimly lit neuroscience laboratories and then back again for rehearsal. I translated the intricacies of memory formation and neurological disease into movement phrases, and I brought those to the stage. As a science communicator, my goal is the same: I want to get science out of the laboratory and in front of fresh eyes. At the UC Santa Cruz Science Communication Program, I received expert training in writing, reporting and digital media creation. During the program, I interned as a public information officer, general newspaper reporter and science beat reporter. I have written for Stanford University School of Medicine, the Monterey Herald, the Mercury News, Eos, UC San Francisco and the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University.
