​​​​

​A professional science journalist for nearly 15 years, I have spent my career writing about health and medicine. Currently a staff writer at WIRED, I cover biotechnology, neurotechnology, and public health. I am keenly interested in how humans are using technology to reprogram our bodies and minds—and the consequences of doing so. 

​

My work has been recognized by the D.C. Science Writers Association and the National Institute for Healthcare Management. I am the recipient of a 2021 MIT Knight Science Journalism Project Fellowship, which allowed me to research the science, history, and ethics of cross-species organ transplantation.

​

Before joining WIRED, I held staff positions at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Medium, and MIT Technology Review. My stories have also appeared in The New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, Scientific American, National Geographic, and Smithsonian Magazine. I have a bachelor's degree in journalism from Ohio University and a master's in science writing from Johns Hopkins University. After finishing my master's degree, I taught for several years in the program.

​

I am based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where you can find me hiking, biking, climbing, and volunteering in my local conservation areas when I'm not writing.
