About the Scholar
The best scientific writing doesn't just report results, it tells a story the data can prove. That's the standard I've held across 800+ papers in Chemistry, Statistics, and Mathematics.
I hold an MA in Chemistry from Caltech and a BS in Physics and Mathematics from UCLA, where my research focused on computational chemistry and mathematical modeling. After graduating I spent four years as a research scientist at a biotech firm in San Diego, writing technical reports, grant proposals, and peer-reviewed manuscripts, work that demands a level of precision most academic writers never develop. Every number sourced, every claim supported, every methodology explained clearly enough that someone else could replicate it.
That experience is what separates my work from someone who simply understands the subject matter. I know how STEM writing is evaluated at every level, from freshman lab reports to graduate research papers, because I've lived on both sides of that process. Three years tutoring undergraduate chemistry and physics sharpened that further, giving me a clear picture of where technical writing loses points and how to make sure it doesn't.
