Hi there! I am a writer, editor, and podcast host from Greater Philadelphia. As a reporter, I primarily cover health and medicine, the environment, earth science, and how waste management affects communities (and, sometimes, knitting). I have published work in NOVA Next, Chemical & Engineering News, Penn Today, MIT News, and more. I’m currently an associate editor for Chemical & Engineering News. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
