Who I Am
I'm a cusp'er — at the intersection of science and art, data and narrative, laboratory and stage. After 20+ years spanning molecular diagnostics, medical journalism, content strategy, and performance, I do one thing: decode the stories shaping us.
My work has been recognized by NASA/JPL, Disney, Duke School of Medicine, and WebMD. Story Science is the public-facing expression of everything I've learned at that intersection.
