I grew up in rural Pennsylvania and started my academic and research career at Lehigh University. Upon earning a BS in Physics and an Honor's BA in German in 2003 (magna cum laude), I spent one year at the University of Bonn in the Institute for Radiation and Nuclear Physics as a Bonn International Physics Program student and Fulbright Scholar. My foray into materials and nanoscience began at the University of Cambridge during my MPhil in Micro- and Nanotechnology Enterprise (2005). The adventure continued at Sungkyunkwan University with my supervisor, Daejoon Kang. In 2011, I defended my Physics PhD thesis on copper oxide nanostructures (suma cum laude) and began scientific/technical editing and consulting full time in Germany. 

Although the nature of my business kept me tethered to cutting edge research and technology, my curiosity about our world and my passion for research, for investigating, understanding, and applying what is going on at the micro- and nanoscale, only increased over the years. Therefore, in 2016, I started active research again while continuing my technical language services business (editing, translating, and writing). This setup enabled me to carry out research, collaborate with colleagues, and publish my work (affiliation Tiangong University in Tianjin, China).

As an active researcher with a strong background in writing and international collaborations, I expanded my business in 2018 to provide research and technical consultation as well as language services (on a freelance basis). In the last three years, my business has focused on SaaS product development, integrated artificial intelligence solutions, and project management. In parallel, I continue to support research projects, write grant proposals, and build collaborations for my clients.

I am proud to support my clients at all stages of their projects and research, offering diverse services including access to my large network of international specialists in various fields.

To strengthen my network and collaborations and to keep up to date with the newest findings and research trends, I continue to attend and participate in international conferences. I give back by mentoring up and coming talent, particularly women in MINT careers.
