About Me:

I'm Jessica, a practicing science communicator fascinated with the molecular origins of diseases. During my PhD, I taught general and organic chemistry and presented my research to various audiences. In addition, I wrote for scientific blogs and newsletters and volunteered at science outreach events. These experiences rekindled my love for storytelling and scientific translation. I aspire to continue science communication and ultimately make a difference.

In total, I have 8 years of experience in scientific (biochemistry) research, 7 years of experience in undergraduate teaching, and 6 years of experience in science writing & communication. This allows me to understand complex scientific topics and communicate them in a clear and compelling way. I'm based in New York.

And most recently, I launched my own blog site, Jess Translating Science!
