About Me
I love helping scientists of diverse backgrounds to succeed and grow in their careers. I am excited to have recently started working in training and career development at the Vienna BioCenter. I have supported collaborative, interdisciplinary research in molecular biology, microbiology, population genetics, and translational biotechnology through roles in program coordination, grant writing, and skills training.
My scientific training is in plant evolutionary ecology. Throughout my research career, I showed a talent for obtaining fellowships and grants, which I leveraged into my first academic admin role (grant writing training). Not coincidentally, I also have a background in science outreach and journalism (particularly podcasting), where I practiced identifying the meat of a story and writing clearly, skills that come in handy for grant-writing. In both my scientist and journalist roles, I've always loved mentoring and training students, and I especially seek opportunities to contribute to professional development of scientists from groups that have been systematically excluded from STEM careers.
After work, when I'm not running after my kids you can find me drinking tea, listening to podcasts, hiking, biking to work, reading the New Yorker, singing karaoke, cooking and baking far too elaborately for the amount of time I have, and struggling with German grammar.
