HIGHLIGHTS - EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE

As a freelance writer, 2007-present, I work with companies and organizations to craft the words they need to best reach their audience – whether that’s press releases, web copy, or anywhere else great content is needed. I also work with editors to provide articles for local and national publications.

My background in sciences (I have a degree in biology) and experience as a computer professional (in programming, systems administration, and bioinformatics) gives me a deep understanding of science and technology.
