My background in chemistry and bioethics gives me a unique perspective on science, technology, and medicine and has influenced both my non-fiction and fiction projects.

Scientists have a precise language, and each field of science has its dialect. Bioethics, on the other hand, is multidisciplinary and requires clear, unambiguous language for a broad audience. I often serve as a translator, converting from one writing style and way of thinking to another.

I love bringing an idea to life with word pictures and stories or walking with the reader as we learn something new together.
