Bio

I am recent graduate of Macalester College, where I studied creative writing, biology, and geology. Over my time at college I held three different positions on the student newspaper as the media, web, and design editor, giving me experience designing graphics, managing websites and social media, and creating podcasts covering scientific topics. I would love to further my experience in science journalism and science podcasting this summer.
