My focus as a writer, teacher, and editor is to create, encourage, and refine writing that involves science—from fiction to non-fiction and across all genres of writing. I am currently working on my first novel and looking for a literary agent.
I also teach astronomy and a new Writing the Universe interdisciplinary course at the Pierre and Marie Curie School in Managua, Nicaragua. I have been a science editor for seven years, acting as managing editor for Atomium Culture and as a proofreader of graduate-level textbooks for CRC Press (a member of the Taylor & Francis Group) on engineering, computer programming, optics, mathematics, statistics, and astrophysics.
