I'm a law student in the United States interested in intellectual property law, innovation, regulation, and constitutional law.

Previously I conducted laboratory research. My research experience lies at the interface of chemistry and biology, employing the tools and methods of chemistry to probe significant questions of biomedical pertinence. Additionally, I have an interest in scientific and technical writing, the teaching of scientific writing skills, and the use of communication technologies to improve scientific discourse, and scientific intellectual property. My goal here is to contribute to Wikipedia by cleaning up articles or contributing new articles.

My education includes an undergraduate degree (B.S., chemistry and biology) and two graduate degrees (M.S., organic chemistry; Ph.D., chemistry). Additionally, I have training in scientific, technical, and legal writing/editing and in the teaching of writing.
