About me

I am an experienced writer specializing in middle grade fiction, and I am also an editor with a focus on scientific literature and research. My passion lies at the intersection of science and the humanities. I firmly believe that storytelling is the most effective tool for communicating complex scientific concepts to a wide audience; I weave science into every novel I write. I love creating narrative around a big-picture idea. My hope is to inspire fresh curiosity—a desire to learn more about topics that unite us, even if they seem challenging. My work is characterized by a professional approach and my deep appreciation for the power of storytelling, not only in creative writing but also as a persuasive tool to communicate research findings. Leveraging my editing skills, I guarantee that scientific papers are coherent, succinct, and influential. I edit with an eye toward readability, which is key. I am based in Chicago, where for many years I was a managing editor at The JAMA Network. I bring over two decades of experience to my work.
