Hi, I’m Christina.
I’m a freelance science writer in upstate New York who translates health and biology research into relatable stories. I have over 10 years of experience working with media outlets and non-profits to create compelling content and narratives. I’ve written for The Atlantic, NYTimes, Scientific American and more.
Bridging the gap between complex and clear.
I cover health and science for news organizations and trade publications. I deliver clean copy on time. My work has appeared in The Atlantic, Boston Globe, Discover, NYTimes, Salon, Scientific American, Slate, Smithsonian, Medscape, Undark, Wirecutter, and more.
I bring over a decade of experience and a well-organized approach to boost the communications efforts of science non-profits. I write research and grant summaries, blogs and reports, and website and email copy. My clients include Alzheimer’s Association, Biophysical Society, and Parkinson’s Foundation.
Editing
I partner with individuals and organizations to craft impactful written communication tailored to their specific goals and audiences. My experience working with a range of clients ensures I can hone writing in a way that fits each clients’ unique needs.
I know science.
I became a science writer in 2013 after finishing my PhD in cell biology at the University of Pittsburgh.*
So when it comes to writing, I can shake out the molecular tangles, unravel the cellular threads, and wade through the formidable details of scientific studies.
*My first-ever published piece was a parody about life in the lab.
