My goal is always for people to understand science as a process, and not just a collection of facts.

A graduate of Cornell University, I began my career in the United States with an internship in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards Policy Analysis and Communications Office, followed by science communication roles at the Ecological Society of America in Washington, DC and the U.S. Department of Energy Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

In 2013 I moved to Switzerland to work on the editorial staff of the Human Brain Project in Geneva. In 2015, I left Geneva for the Swiss capital of Bern to lead the science beat at swissinfo.ch, the international service of the Swiss Broadcasting Corporation.

Today, I am a science writer at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL), where I communicate the research and activities of the School of Engineering via text-based, multimedia, and social media channels.
