Science Journalist

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.
