About

I am an accomplished writer, editor, and communications professional with 20-plus years of experience in print, web, and video across from historical documentaries to healthcare, environmental science/tech, and higher education. I excel at translating complex topics into clear, compelling stories and coordinating with subject matter experts to reach researchers, physicians, governmental bodies, marketing teams, news media, and the public. I also develop video scripts, speeches, editorials, white papers, webinars, and annual reports, and I bring a collaborative, meticulous approach with a sense of humor and urgency. I am proficient in Italian and comfortable with Spanish, and I have experience with a broad range of presentation and content management platforms and AI tools.

I thrive on bridging the gap between experts and vital audiences, crafting communications that inform, persuade, and engage. My work spans genomics, environmental science/tech, AI, and humanities, and I enjoy developing content that supports researchers, clinicians, policymakers, and educators in delivering impactful messages.
