I'm a multimedia science communicator. I’ve worked as a science writer, podcaster, game developer, and multimedia creator — using words, visuals, and interactive media to make complex ideas engaging and accessible.

My science writing has been published in Quanta Magazine, WIRED, and Notch Magazine. I also co-host, edit, and produce the podcast Why This Universe? which reaches 30k+ listeners per episode. Earlier, I contributed to Kerbal Space Program 2 at Intercept Games, developing physics-based simulations that bring science to life through play.

I have a Master's degree in physics from New York University, and have taught the undergraduate-level course Physics for Architects as a visiting instructor at the Pratt Institute, as well as Weird Science: The World of Quantum Mechanics at Columbia University's Pre-College program.​
