About Me

I'm passionate about conveying science with clarity and accuracy for any audience. I have a PhD in neurobiology and diverse experience in communicating scientific concepts to researchers, medical professionals, and those affected by rare disease. Whether editing a manuscript, reviewing patient-facing resources, or delivering a themed talk about research progress, I aim to engage the audience and create excitement about your scientific ideas.

​I graduated from Brown University in 2008 with a degree in Neuroscience, worked as a technician in an Alzheimer's laboratory at Harvard/MGH, and completed my doctorate in Huntington's Disease at Columbia University in 2016. I worked as a Trainee Medical Writer at Caudex before joining the Huntington's Disease Society of America in 2017 where I spent 7 years, the last 3 with oversight of research and patient engagement programs. In this role I worked with multiple stakeholders from industry, non-profit, and HD-affected families to speed the progress of drug development, reinforce the pipeline of engaged scientists, and ensure that community voices are central to ongoing research efforts.

I am based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where I live with my husband and young daughters. I am a people person, a trombone player, a reader, a writer, a lover of cooking and company.

I work on a per project basis and would be happy to chat about how I can help you refine your messaging for scientists, medical professionals, or the lay public.​
