Workshops
From 2025 6-week Academic Writing Workshop presented to Genetics Society of America members
I offer virtual and in-person workshops on academic writing, science communication, and weekly meal planning. My workshops are highly interactive and supportive. Participants always leave with a completed work product.
I can also develop new workshops to fit your team’s needs.

—Members of NPR's Caregivers Caucus on what they found most useful about 2023 Family Meal Planning Talk“How relatable it was. I really appreciated the idea that meal planning should be realistic for my family and that I don't need to feel bad if I have to incorporate carryout food or quick meals.”
“I needed to hear that people do indeed set aside 20 minutes to plan a week's meals. I'm definitely going to try it, rather than winging it everyday.”
"Attending your workshop has been a truly transformative experience....Your framework helps me avoid costly mistakes and even deepens my thinking by exploring gaps in my understanding. Your teaching is saving me hours of rewriting, months of resubmissions, and potentially years by helping me design experiments that truly address knowledge gaps. Thank you again for an incredible workshop - truly one of the best investments I’ve made in my academic journey."
