I am a writer, naturalist, dog owner, and mom. Since I was a very young child, I have devoured both fiction and nonfiction books and loved writing poetry and short stories. A keen interest in the biological sciences drew me into careers in research and ecological management, but much like one continues to breath without thinking, I continued to write.

My editing and writing abilities cover trade and technical, from creative writing to analytical assessments. I have written and edited technical reports, policy documents and science communication pieces for NASA and the Department of Energy, as well as cozy fantasy, historical fiction, and urban fantasy.

I can also offer subject matter expertise in areas of life science, biology, and earth science to your academic, creative nonfiction, science and speculative fiction, fantasy, or literary manuscript.

My specialties include:

Creative non-fiction in the life sciences, environment, and ecology

Literary Fiction

Speculative Fiction

Magical Realism

Urban Fantasy

STEM Subject Matter Expertise

Poetry

I am an American poet living abroad in Portugal with my husband and three-year-old daughter and two dogs. Some of my favorite things are early mornings, exploring nature, cooking, and writing.  I read many books, but the genres I return to again and again are science-flavored creative nonfiction, speculative fiction, fantasy, and poetry.
