Hi, there!

I'm a science and content writer for Purdue University's Agricultural Communications department. My background in botany, horticulture, communication, and English, enable me to understand complex scientific topics and digest them to write about them in a way that is accessible to the public. I'm passionate about breaking down boundaries between plants and people!
