I am a writer at heart. It's always been my preferred method of communication. In college, I discovered my love for science, and in the summer of 2019 I got to experience for the first time how these two passions can come together in an exciting and productive way (see Selected Work below). 

I believe teachers are communications experts - able to tailor complex topics to diverse audiences by engaging and iterating.  As a teacher, I've written what seems like countless lesson plans, unit plans, project outlines, and handouts that serve to communicate various scientific topics and concepts to students. I've included two examples of units in this portfolio. While they are not 'traditional' forms of science communication, approach them from a stance of needing to engage, teach and assess a group of high schoolers on a topic that seems mostly uninteresting to them.

As a freelancer, I've written wedding ceremonies for strangers across the globe, blog articles, newsletters for organizations, edited corporate training materials, and ghost written biographical stories. If you're looking for a writing sample that you don't see here, feel free to ask!
