“WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? BECOME AN EVERYDAY HERO!”
Elevate Your Life Through Science
Are you ready to understand yourself and others better and tap into your highest human potential? Then we’re probably on the same wavelength.
I’m a science writer, but I think of myself as a kind of translator. I glean insights from the research world about how our bodies and minds work, what motivates us to behave the way we do, and how we can grow into the highest versions of ourselves. I distill new discoveries in biology, psychology, and neuroscience into clear, engaging narratives that grab scientists and non-scientists alike.
I’m learning about how we can reach the state Aristotle called eudaimonia: deep satisfaction, fulfillment, and a sense that we’re contributing to the greater good. And I hope you’ll enjoy reading about what I’ve found.

Heroes aren’t special. They’re just prepared.
Heroic action—like talking down a school shooter or jumping onto train tracks to rescue someone—often happens in a matter of seconds. But what you don’t always see is the months, years, or even decades of preparation that came before those fleeting heroic moments....
