After a long flirtation with the right side of my brain, and a thorough exploration of the left side of my brain, I concluded that the idea that you can only be one is nonsense.

It's not that figure skating and writing angst-ridden poetry wasn't fulfilling, nor that studying Physics at MIT wasn't fascinating. In fact, these things were so great that I couldn't give any of them up. And why should I? I could go both ways! As a science writer and journalist, I could use my creativity, technical know-how, and honed writing skills to give insight into the workings of science and technology. I could have my cake and eat it too.

While at MIT I put this hypothesis to the test, interning as a science journalist at Technology Review. Four years later, I've worked as a writer at SLAC, the award-winning Palo Alto Weekly, and WIRED Magazine, to name a few. Apparently, Technology Review was my gateway drug.

Today I live in Toronto and freelance for a variety of newspapers, magazines, websites, and other clients. That cake? It's awfully tasty. Pull up a chair, have a slice, and explore my website and writing.
