I write and edit stories on a wide range of science subjects: everything from analyses of breakthrough advances in genetics and medicine to long-form pieces about weird or unexpected battles over renewable energy and conservation to features about the mysterious or uncanny in science and medicine, such as bog bodies, face transplants and psychogenic illness. My work has been published in New York, Wired, Backchannel, Proto, Nautilus, Al Jazeera and The Verge, among other publications.
I also do some copywriting for The Atlantic magazine's Re:Think division, write for disease-specific patient-focused magazines published by Time Inc., translate scientific papers on advances in cancer therapy, urology and orthopedics into digestible articles for Massachusetts General Hospital newsletters, and do some institutional writing for The Earth Institute at Columbia University. Before turning to science, I spent many years writing and editing stories about equity markets, wealth, business and finance.
I earned an M.A. in science journalism from Columbia Journalism School in 2013, and was a fellow in creative nonfiction at CUNY's The Writer's Institute from 2008 to 2010, where I workshopped with editors from The New Yorker, New York Times magazine, New York Times Book Review and other publications. I have a degree in English from Williams College and am fluent in Spanish.
