Life & Career Milestones
I've taken a lot of twists and turns
1.
I was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and grew up in both Philadelphia and New Jersey.
2.
As a teenager, I thought I wanted to become a scientist, so I went to college for environmental science.
3.
While in college, I did a lot of marine ecology and marine science work.
4.
I found that I craved more connection with others, so I decided to pivot and become more of a storyteller of science rather than a traditional scientist.
5.
I went back to school to earn my graduate degree in journalism.
6.
I worked as a contributor for The New York Times science section and then as a reporter and producer for a public radio show about health and science.
7.
Now I work as an assistant director for Fishadelphia, a community seafood program based in Philadelphia focused on inclusion and youth empowerment.
