a scientist, creative, and ideator

a place to house & share both my professional experience and the material poetry i’ve written

NERD AT HEART

after years in biotechnology research, i’m leaning into my creative and integrative abilities & taking my artistry at the lab bench to new canvases

MY STORY

a san diego native who traded the sun for snow to study biology at the university of wisconsin-madison (go badgers!)

spent nearly a decade doing microbiology research, bioengineering e. coli to ferment sugars into biofuels and other bio-based chemicals, such as bio-nylon intermediates for lululemon, palm oil alternatives for unilever, and skincare ingredients for l’oréal

technical at heart, but an artist in spirit;
i love to watercolor, draw, paint, play on canva, curate art, design interiors, arrange flowers, cook, and host

i have many allergies and an autoimmune disease that keeps me up-to-date on related research and movement in the healthcare space

in tune with rhythm and structure, fulfilled by designing workflows and the systems that support them

i’m excited to continue hybridizing my interests in my future endeavors!
