I'm an aspiring journalist studying science communication at the University of California, Santa Cruz. I grew up in Seattle, WA, and studied molecular and cellular biology at Colorado College. I worked in research publishing for several years after graduating in 2019. As a science journalist, I aspire to share emerging research with the communities impacted by it through personal stories.
