I grew up in the Washington, DC area, before making my way to Grinnell College in Iowa. Since graduating in 2015, I've worked at the National Institutes of Health and the American Society of Nephrology. I joined the TEDx media team in February 2015. As the Science and Tech Fellow, I screen for psuedoscience and write for both the TED and Ideas blog, among other things. Also, I'm currently in grad school at Johns Hopkins University.

effective science writing and communication. I think science and technology should be accessible to everyone, not just individuals with a PhD!

I have come to TED to gain experience in media and learn from the best. I'm looking forward to contributing to the TEDx media team. Previously, I was a Project Associate at the American Society of Nephrology in Washington, DC.
