I am a writer, educator, and microbiologist based in Brooklyn, NY. I received my Ph.D. in Microbiology from UC Berkeley, and have written news, feature articles and fictional short stories for various media organizations and institutions.

As a science educator, I leverage my scientific training and deep understanding of science culture to coordinate and develop research training programs and academic initiatives for basic, translational and clinical scientists across the education continuum, from high school to senior faculty.

I have worked with a range of organizations, including:

Weill Cornell Medicine - Cornell University

Sandra and Edward Meyer Cancer Center

Arts by the People

BioBus

American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

FLi Sci

The Institute for Anti-Racist Education

MD Anderson Cancer Center

Department of Plant and Microbial Biology, UC Berkeley

Biology Scholars Program, UC Berkeley

Summer College Preview Program (SCPP), Carnegie Mellon University - Qatar
