I am a Washington, DC, metropolitan-based mom and a freelance medical writer and editor. I have a Ph.D. in neuroscience.
 
I believe that a responsibility to work towards society's overall well-being comes naturally to a person trained in sciences. Therefore, after many years of bench research and pursuing two postdoctoral fellowships in neuroscience, I returned to school and earned a medical writing and editing certificate from the University of Chicago Graham School to be a full-time medical writer and blogger. I work to promote mental well-being through public outreach and straightforward explanation of scientific concepts.
