My work is informed by my past academic and professional experience. I am inspired by my lifelong love of science and writing. This fuels my desire to put quality information into the hands of the people—especially laypeople.

Science journalism is just one of the many ways I bring this goal to fruition. As a member of the National Association of Science Writers, I take my role in communicating complex STEM concepts very seriously. Plus, my press access to various news channels enables you to provide up-to-the-minute content to inform and empower your readers.

Additional background factors and experiences that informed my desire to become a full-time freelance science writer and B2B+B2C content provider include:

• Bachelor of Science, Zoology (University of California, Santa Barbara)

• Master of Science, Environmental Policy and Management, concentration: Fish and Wildlife (in-progress, American Public University)

• Laboratory and field research assistant

• Veterinary technician

• Dog caretaker

• Zoo interpretive guide

My zeal to create research-based content extends across several niches and styles. As long as I have the internet at my fingertips and a reference for your style and tone, I can write high-quality publications, magazine features, and more, as if it flowed directly from you.

My career in science writing began back in 2015, when I was invited to join a professor, Dr. Doug McCauley, and then Ph.D. student, Lacey Hughey, to study the wildebeest migration in Serengeti National Park.

I managed the lab website, documenting our day-to-day lives and the most interesting aspects and goals of our project. At the same time, I kept family and friends updated on my personal experiences on my own website.

After returning to the United States, I later expanded my personal online platform to be a hub of scientific education, which ultimately became the late Black Flower Science Co. Here, I taught my readers about evolution and ecology, and encouraged discussion on how they saw themselves, as humans, relating to the natural world.

Now, I continue my work as a scientist and, more importantly, scicommer, on various platforms and for clientele.

My freelance writing work has been featured in numerous science magazines, like NatureVolve and 2 Million Blossoms, and other publications with a broader focus, such as The Bark and Yes! Magazine. I was also a regular contributor to Massive Science as a Certified Science Storyteller, Hemp.inc, and 8 Billion Trees. These days, you can see my most recent work at Halo Science and The Vector Impact, among other platforms on occasion. See a list of my most notable written work here.

Whether you need research-based marketing blogs, newsletters, or social posts, or life science content about plants, animals, or the environment, I've got you covered.
