Hi, I’m Emily — a science communicator and writer with a deep interest in how nature designs life through patterns and parallels.

My work focuses on comparative biology, specifically convergent evolution — the process where unrelated species develop similar traits due to shared environmental pressures. From tapirs and elephants to sharks and dolphins, I explore how these surprising similarities offer insight into how evolution solves problems.

I’m a contributor to NatureNibble.com, where I write long-form, research-backed content about animal morphology, evolutionary biology, and structural design in nature. I enjoy turning complex scientific ideas into clear, visual, and engaging stories for readers of all backgrounds.

When I'm not writing, I'm usually digging through natural history books, sketching comparative anatomy diagrams, or researching case studies for my next article.

Let’s connect if you’re passionate about science communication, nature writing, or the patterns that shape life on Earth.
