Who I Am

I'm a former assistant professor in psychology and neuroscience, and now a senior research scientist in cardiovascular medicine and AI. Over the past 15+ years, I’ve built a career that bridges disciplines—publishing more than 25 peer-reviewed studies in journals like The Lancet Digital Health and The Journal of Neuroscience, and co-authoring an NIH grant that scored in the 2nd percentile.

Throughout this time, I’ve become a go-to person for early-career scientists looking for clear and honest feedback on their writing and career direction. Their trust means a lot to me, because I’ve been there too.

As a faculty member during the pandemic, I juggled online teaching, tried to build a research program, and supported my lab through constant uncertainty. I was overwhelmed and exhausted, right when I felt I was supposed to be hitting my stride. Transitioning to industry then brought new challenges: working in a completely different field and trying to explain how my experience added up to a coherent story, even to myself.

Working with a coach helped me take back that narrative. Not just to “sell” my background to others, but to actually feel aligned in my own choices. Now, as a writer and mentor, I help others do the same by crafting compelling, confident stories about their science, their skills, and their careers.

If you’re feeling stuck—whether it’s in a manuscript or grant that won’t come together, or a career transition that feels scattered—I’d love to work with you. Together, we can make your writing sharper, your narrative stronger, and your impact clearer.
