Writer, researcher, and environmental scientist.
I’m a Rochester-based professional writer studying Environmental Science & Sustainability at Nazareth University, with a Biology minor and an expected graduation date of May 2027.
My experience includes client work for Workinman Interactive, environmental research with the Climate Solutions Accelerator, educational writing and editing for BrookEdge Academy, and harmful algal bloom research beginning at the University at Albany.
The scientific background matters because it gives me a repeatable way to enter difficult subjects: define the question, examine the source, separate evidence from inference, and build the clearest useful explanation.
