I am a full-time science and health journalist with more than six years experience covering genomics technology, research, and applications for trade publications operated by GenomeWeb, where I am a Contributing Editor. I've also written about everything from neuroscience and hormone pollution to clinical trial ethics and dark matter for other prominent online publications and print magazines, including Audubon, Discover, and Scientific American Mind.

I have a Master of Arts degree in journalism from New York University's Science, Health & Environmental Reporting Program (SHERP) and a Master of Science in cell biology.

I am on the board of directors of LitFest, an annual non-fiction writing festival held in Edmonton, Canada.
