A BIT ABOUT ME

​

​

​I'm a geneticist and writer with a passion for connecting people to science.

​​

Over the past 15 years, I've turned complex genetics into resources that help people understand new ideas, navigate important decisions, and discover what makes life's four-letter code so endlessly fascinating.

 

Most recently, I led science writing, patient education, and K12 curriculum projects at the University of Utah's Stark (formerly Genetic) Science Learning Center. I collaborated with interdisciplinary teams to create resources that measurably improve science and health literacy and reach millions of learners around the world.

​

When I’m not working, you can find me watching wildlife, listening to music, or exploring Salt Lake City with my rescued greyhound, old "Mellow Murph."
