I'm a science writer who works across media. I’ve worked as a science journalist, podcaster, and game developer, all with the goal of bringing science to life and making 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.​
