I have always known I wanted to be a sharer of stories, I have just not always known that I knew. Still, my entire professional life – save for a short stint working for a CD store during the holidays in 2003 – has been centered on bringing people together through words.

For almost fifteen years as a science communicator, those words served a basic philosophy: that the more we know about the world, the better equipped we are to make better decisions about how to live in it. 

Since then, I’ve connected with people around me in meaningful ways as a reporter, storyteller, and musician. Always, the desire is to entertain, inform, and – some days when I’m lucky – inspire.
