Published Articles 
I have been fortunate to cover fascinating research for top publications like the New York Times and Scientific American! View all of my published articles, including pieces about Tyrannosaurus lips, pee-flinging insects, echidna snot bubbles and much more!

Photography 
Another passion of mine is photography— capturing the beauty of science and nature through the lens. Whether it’s vast landscapes of the world or coming across creatures along my travels…there is nothing quite like preserving the intricacies of science in a photo.

Art 
What better way to express your interest and passions than through art? I love to exercise my creativity through art and bring museum specimens to life with watercolor and ink.
