Erin Mazow
Researcher and Writer in Oakland, CA
I earned my undergraduate degree in cognitive science. After graduation, I spent several years working as a research analyst for a pioneering philanthropic investment firm. I'm also trained as an Ayurvedic practitioner with a special interest in women's health.
My passion for the craft of research has been the through line of my career. Regardless of the topic, I thrive at diving deep into source material, identifying patterns and trends, synthesizing complex information across disciplines, and curating that information into an understandable format for my target audience.
After running my own private Ayurvedic practice for three years, I shifted gears in the spring of 2016 to maximize my time with my newborn daughter. I downshifted once again in 2020 to welcome my second daughter and adjust to the new realities of pandemic life with small children.
I currently spend my days balancing motherhood and various freelance research and writing projects in the social change sphere.
