Telling the stories of science—especially the tiny ones here on Earth.
For the past decade, I have worked as a professional science writer, leveraging my background in the life sciences and research ( botany, ecology and microbiology) to bring the stories of science to everyone.
I am now a full time staff writer at the conservation and science news site mongabay.com
