I've written and edited articles on just about every aspect of human (and animal!) psychology and neuroscience you can imagine, including mental health, environmentalism, workplace psychology, and findings related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). As an editor, I’ve worked with writers and researchers all over the world to help them communicate recent research to the public in clear, accessible language.
