As a freelance science writer, I serve as a bridge connecting readers with the complex, specialized knowledge of experts. I am a PhD mathematician and a professionally trained creative writer. Through 20 years of university teaching experience, I've become equally comfortable crafting scientific storytelling for expert and non-expert audiences. Scientific stories have their own charisma, beauty, and power, and I love to help readers connect with the wonder and excitement that lie at the heart of scientific and technical work.

Dr. Sheila Miller did fantastic work on our SIMIODE textbook - https://qubeshub.org/community/groups/simiode/textbook. When the author turned over the ms. to me, the Director of our SIMIODE project - I worked it up with suggestions and corrections. However, when we received the copy editing suggestions from Sheila it was amazing. It was so smooth, to the point, and clear that the author and I looked at each other and said, "That is what we wanted to say and Sheila did it for us!" She is great!
