About Me
As a child, I loved hearing and telling stories, but I struggled with spelling and reading. Then, when I was nine years old, I discovered the Harry Potter books. Captivated by these adventures and mysteries, I began reading on my own. After that, I plowed through books, even taking them out to the playground to read during recess. Later, a diagnosis of dyslexia helped me understand my struggles and improve my spelling and study habits.
Science was always another story I couldn’t put down, which led me to a physics graduate program. As a teaching assistant, I gained a deeper appreciation for how to use a good story to educate. Now, I strive to both captivate my audience and help them understand the complex world around them.
