My work as a freelance journalist has spanned a number of national publications. I was an editor at Science for the People magazine from 2019-2021, where I served in a number of editorial collectives for print issues (e.g. 1,2). I also helped start up SftP Online, where I coordinated a large number of editors and authors to cover topics ranging from interviews with luminaries like Noam Chomsky to climate change to race in science fiction.

I am the co-founder and editor-in-chief of Movie Fail and a contributor at RogerEbert.com. In the past, I served as the editor for film and television at The Massachusetts Daily Collegian and as a contributor at ScottFeinberg.com. You can find more of my clips here.

I have also published in the area of bioethics around germline genome editing, including an academic chapter, an academic paper, and in an article aimed at a more general audience. I presented my work in bioethics at Churchill College in 2020.

I previously worked as the Head Science Writer at Desktop Genetics in London, UK. My job was to communicate the latest advances in CRISPR both internally and externally at academic conferences, online and in academic publications.

In addition to being a freelance journalist, recently earned a PhD in the laboratory of Professor Steve Jackson at the University of Cambridge, where I studied the role of post-translational modification (ubiquitylation, SUMOylation) in the DNA damage response.

For my undergraduate degree, I completed programs in Microbiology and Film studies with Honors and Distinction at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.
