about

ABOUT

I’m a Gen Z science communicator and a 2025 graduate of the University of Texas at Austin, where I earned a B.S. in Biochemistry along with a certificate in Forensic Science. Online, I engage and educate my community of science geeks by exploring the weird, whacky, and whimsical parts of science. Think topics ranging from prion diseases and plague biology to chromosomal variations. Beyond sparking curiosity, I use my platform to advocate for sustainability, gender equity in STEM, and greater accessibility in education. Offline, I speak to audiences about the power of science communication, the significance of education accessibility, and effective strategies for communicating your own research with clarity and impact.
