About Me

My career has always centered on the power of words to inform, connect, and support others. With a background in English, writing, and communications, I have built my work around helping people tell clear, meaningful stories, whether guiding students through the writing process, teaching English abroad, or translating complex medical and scientific topics for broader audiences.

My path has included teaching and tutoring writing at the University of South Alabama, serving as editor-in-chief of the university literary magazine, reporting for the student newspaper, and later teaching English to more than 400 students in rural South Korea. These experiences deepened my commitment to education, cross-cultural collaboration, and service, including volunteer work supporting students, children, and families in communities in the United States, South Korea, and South Africa.

For the past 13 years, I have worked as senior editor for the Endocrine Society in Washington, DC.  My reporting has explored issues at the intersection of medicine, science, policy, and social impact, including health equity, access to care, environmental health, and the real-world consequences of public policy.

I bring curiosity, empathy, and a strong editorial eye to every project, with a focus on making complex ideas accessible and compelling.

Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, reading, listening to music, collecting records, exploring with my dogs, and spending time along the Chesapeake Bay.
