About Me
As a Master's graduate in Atmospheric Physics, now working for a leading Respiratory journal, my experience and skill set is diverse, and I'm always looking to learn more. I have worked for both grassroots non-profits and some of the biggest publishers in the world; represented my company at international conferences and local outreach events. I love coming up with creative solutions to the problems I'm working on, and keeping my brain busy with practically non-stop reading, learning and creating.
