I am a freelance science writer, with degrees in biology and creative writing, experienced in writing news articles, magazine features, and personal essays. My initial training in science writing was as a staff science writer at the University of Houston, where I covered everything from cryptocurrency to Martian meteorites to particle physics. Since then, as a full-time freelance writer, I have written for outlets such as Texas Monthly, Lifehacker, Monitor on Psychology, the Houston Chronicle, the New York Times and the Washington Post, covering topics in health, fitness and parenting.
