About Me

I'm a journalist based in Brooklyn, NY who writes about ​technology, health and science. I received a master's degree ​from NYU's Science, Health and Environmental Reporting ​Program in 2023.


Previously, I've interned for NASA History, Medscape, and IEEE ​Spectrum. I also contributed to research projects in astronomy ​and physics education while a student at Swarthmore College, ​where I earned a bachelor's degree in astrophysics and history.


When not writing and reporting, I enjoy gluten-free baking and ​going for long walks with my family's dog, Oliver.
