I'm a 2026 Indiana University alum with a B.S. in Biology, B.A. English, and minor in European Studies. I cherish big words and big stories told through little lenses. Exploration intrigues me not only in books and my own travels, but also in scientific research.
My curious mind drove me into the arms of science and then, inextricably, of writing. With my column, I'm trying to foster that same curiosity in the reader by clearing a path for inquiry — whether that's exposing them to topics they might not have heard about or debunking scientific myths and misinformation.
I design and create illustrations to accompany my columns and reinforce the communication of ideas.
