I am a journalist, covering health, science and technology for The Baltimore Sun. Please see the Clips page of my website for examples of my writing.
I often write about highly complex topics, such as the results of clinical trials and innovations in disciplines ranging from chronic pain to bone density scans. In my two years at The Sun, I have written nearly 200 stories, of which about 60 ran on the front page. My writing is informed by strong background in science and medicine. I earned a bachelor of science degree from the University of Maryland in 1996 focusing on pre-medical studies and neurobiology. I then worked as a technician in a neurophysiology laboratory at the Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute in Bethesda, Maryland, on a project studying Gulf War Syndrome. I later served as assistant editor of Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, a peer-reviewed journal of the Ecological Society of America, where I wrote articles and edited research papers, helping scientists clarify their writing. In 2006, I completed a master's degree in journalism from the University of Maryland College Park and took the position at The Sun. In Baltimore I have continued to work with scientists and doctors to explain their work to lay readers. I have also written for a range of other scientific publications, including NASA's website and a journal of the American Geophysical Institute. I am comfortable writing in various styles and formats. Below you will find a few featured examples of my writing. To contact me, please visit the Contact page of this site. I can also be reached at 301-873-6952 or
